I don't agree. I could process several medium complicated test cases I
have collected over the time with pdfetex 1.30.5 from TL2005 (debian
packages) with my context packages for 2007.01.12.
The only point was that is was necessary to add the pdfetex -> pdftex
symlink, otherwise everything worked without problem.
So I *don't see that this was an *absolute* move.
