Hm, I once said that doing it from the tetex packages would save us NEW
processing.  But NEW processing is pretty fast these days.

Actually the reason why I did it in texlive was that I want to get
familiar to its structure, and play with it.  But thinking it over,
there are also reasons for doing it from the texlive packages:  We can
at some point really drop the tetex packages, forget about them and do
everything in the texlive packages.  Furthermore, any changes we make
(like adding/removing dependencies in the transitional packages) will be
documented in the changelog of a package that continues to exist.


But I don't care much, we can as well back it out.

Regards, Frank
