Yes, the idea is that if it is unchanged it will be removed, and if it
is changed it will be moved to the new name and dpkg will show the
diff/ask what to do.
Anyway, let us forget about that. I will remove the .disable files. You
have tested already your code, so I am really confident.
So what about uploading again texlive-base?
Well, there is one more thing, all these RC bugs. How do we proceed with
that, but this is a different story.
Best wishes
