Well, mktexlsr is part of texlive-base-bin, which is build from the same 
source package... but anyway, thats hardly the point. (I wont bother to 
reassign this bug from texlive-base to texlive-base-bin, but go ahead, if you 
think it makes a difference.)

Uhm, why? You violate policy and FHS, this is not to be downgraded to normal 
just because you think it's no big deal. Please re-read #528021.

Please re-read #528021. (It's long, but worth it.)


Thanks,
