But only to save us from passing an ugly
echo $(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU)-$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_OS)
to tpm2deb-bin.pl, right? And we could as well use "debian-built"
instead of "i386-linux", in order to unconfuse newbie developers?

Yes, I've now done that and am doing a test build. What do you think
about uploading? If we upload to unstable without building a kpathsea
package, we get our packages to be used and tested sooner. On the other
hand, if any urgent bugs show up, we cannot solve them by uploading
texlive-bin when it has already a version in NEW - this means that we
will always stall our development by including libkpathsea. So why not
do it now?
I'm undecided.
Regards, Frank
P.S. This would all be easier if one could get ask whether any ftpmaster
plans to do work on NEW in the next weeks, how much, etc. But as we all
know, you won't get an answer...
