Well I guess I *have to* say "I am sure ..." but to be honest, I am
neither ;-)

It *does* know in the sense that it knows what to do in the case that
language.d snippets are installed.

Yes, but with --whatevertherightconfiglineswitchforhyphen.cfgwas.
I was sure that at TL2005 packages all package could be installed with
*MINIMAL* depends (aptitude --without-recommends install ...) since I
made test runs with *all* packages (install/remove/install/purge). So
the problem (if at all) is
- either present in 'third party' packages (littex and latex-cjk are the
only 'third party' pattern I know of)
- or in tl2007 packages, which I haven't tested at this level for now
Best wishes
