Package: tetex-extra
Version: 0.9.981030-1
Severity: wishlist
tetex-extra is a very large package, containing a wide range of
independant programs. For example, I am currently installing
tetex-extra to get bibtex, and don't plan on using much else.
It would be very much more convenient to have things install in a more
granular fashion. Unfortunately, I imagine this convenience does not
apply to the package maintainer :-( .

Hi,
splitting of teTeX will not happen, since it's dead upstream and will be
dropped from Debian as soon as etch is released.
However, TeXlive is already available in sarge and has much smaller
binary packages and a more sophisticated splitting. Therefore I'm
closing these two bugs
