The prelease texlive-latex-extra deb worked fine operationally (that is
I found no errors running the latex command).

But the package system clashes (the problems that I was ignoring with
--force-overwrite --force-depends) were getting annoying, making it
difficult to keep routine package upgrades smooth (I'd only upgraded the
2009 texlive-latex-extra package, not the whole 2009 texlive system).  

So I let texlive-latex-extra downgrade back to the normal current (2007)
version and am handling the new achemso via the $HOME/texmf mechanism.

Thanks,  Drew
