Below is the info you asked for. As for the reason why I have an old
version of tex-common: some packages {lyx-common,tipa,mathpartir} now
depend exlucisvely on texlive* instead of texlive*|tetex*, so when I
hit 'U' (upgrade-available) in aptitute it would try to pull in
texlive, creating confilcts with other packages which have
transitioned to texlive yet. That's how I discoved a couple of months
back about the transition. I've therefore been avoiding upgrading any
tex-related packages for fear of pulling in tex-live. Obviously, a few
tex packages slipped in during my last upgrade. (With the new libc
entering lenny, some 300 packages entered in just a few days.)
If you think I should/would like me upgrade tex-common, I'd be happy
to. It seems that only the three pacakges listed above depend only on
texlive. Is it a bug to only depend on texlive instead of
texlive|tetex? Let me know if you need anyting else.
