Bug#578452: /usr/bin/mpost: not very useful without mpost.mp/plain.mp



Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2009-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mpost

I'm not that familiar with Metapost, so I was confused by the errors I
got when I ran it: it was looking for mpost.mp, or failing that,
plain.mp, and didn't have them. Installing texlive-metapost made it
work.

Should mpost.mp and plain.mp move to texlive-binaries, or should mpost
move to texlive-metapost, or should texlive-binaries depend on or
recommend texlive-metapost, or something else?
