Hm, well, it depends.  It is still the default in etch for the purpose
of automatically building documentation.  

After the announcement that it wouldn't be continued we worked hard to
make as many add-on packages work with texlive (adding alternative
dependencies...) that we didn't think about changing the description of
tetex-bin once we knew that we actually can recommend texlive.

Maybe we should try to do this for etch?
