Hm, I was wondering whether we have to close (nearly) all tetex-base
bugreports with the upload of tetex-base_2007 which is an empty package
except for the maintainer scripts, and therefore guaranteed to have no
upstream-related bugs?

This would be clean housekeeping.  On the other hand, it's just a huge
amount of Fleissarbeit[1] whith no *real* benefit.
