Yes ;-).
But I'm currently not really up to date, or rather I don't know whether
I am. As far as I know
- tetex-bin is the same version in etch and sid, texlive-bin isn't (2
days needed, has the release team been asked?)
- The patches compile fine
- somewhat different patches have been tested in Ubuntu and Gentoo
- Are there any test reports for the packages Hilmar and Norbert have
provided?
- for tetex-bin, we do not have any other bugs currently that we'd like
to fix in etch. For texlive-bin, we'd like to have the mktexlsr bug
fixed, too.
Taking this information (and non-information) together, I would say that
we could upload tetex-bin with Hilmar's fix. As for texlive, I'm
unsure, and would like to know more about the tests.
One more thing: Somewhere I've read in some mail, I think, that we
could recommend that people use dvipdfmx instead of dvipdfm. Does that
mean that dvipdfmx is already patched and in etch? AFAIK I once looked
at the code and found the same problem there, and cloned the bug
accordingly (but I might be wrong).
