The packages have been in experimental for some time.

And no, we didn't do an archive test build, my laptop is to small for that
and that is the *ONLY* developing machine for texlive.

I know that this is bad, but that is SID about. How many times 
*our* packages stopped with FTBFS due to some poppler switch I don't
want to recount to you. That is life, and it is sid, so nothing to 
complain.

Why do you discuss this so laong if a simple
	sed -e s/texlive-latex-recommend/texlive-latex-extra/g
on debian/control is enough?

Best wishes

ESHER (n.)
One of those push tapes installed in public washrooms enabling the
user to wash their trousers without actually getting into the
basin. The most powerful esher of recent years was 'damped down' by
Red Adair after an incredible sixty-eight days' fight in Manchester's
Piccadilly Station.
