I've seen that.

You mean, we have
- one source package created after "mv source.tar.bz2
texlive-bin.orig.tar.bz2", in which we cater ourselves for the binary
package splitting, and ignore texlive.tlpdb. The binary packages
contain only executables, pool files if still present, and similar
things. And there wouldn't be any maintainer scripts (or would they
need to register triggers for format recreation?)
- one or more source packages created "the traditional way", using
texlive.tlpdb. Here the bin packages would contain all input and
configuration files.

That would be great!
