The transitional tetex packages depend on all packages necessary to give
at least the same functionality of tetex 3.0.

All these languages have been available under tetex, and there are more
than these languages available from texlive.

Aeehhmmm. No. Please make yourself known what TeX is, maybe reading a

TeX is NOT for man pages, it is for producing books!
So could you please rephrase your bug report? Describing 55Mb as luxury
is a bit strange.
