Bug#564871: texlive-full: Please create a BD package
Package: texlive-full
Version: 2009-7
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
as discussed in #564241: some maintainers don't like to specify all single
packages they need for building the docs in the BDs. The reason is that the
packages may change (some LaTeX classes move from one to the other, etc).
Hence they specify texlive-full as BD. The is a waste of resources as that
package pull ins megabytes of TeX documentation, which is not needed for
building.
Please create a package texlive-bd, which is a full TL installation minus
docs.
H.
