another two freez exceptions for texlive-base and texlice-extra

Dear release managers,

we have prepared two more packages, one for texlive-base and one for
texlivve-extra which we would like to get into squeeze.

Let's start with the easy one:

texlive-extra 2009-10

  * add the forgotten epoch for musixtex dependency (Closes: #587746)

This chnage is trivail, it only adds the forgotten epco to musixtex
dependency, which was not included in the upload before. It is not
aserious issue, since there are no other musixtex packages around
anyway.

More difficult is the situation with texlive-base:

texlive-base 2009-11

   * texlive-base conflict with texlive-base-bin-doc to get it removed
     (Closes: #589205)
   * avoid unneeded 10texlive-base.cnfpre-edit files in /etc/texmf/fmt.d,
     thanks Jörg-Volker Peetz (Closes: #584950)

The first item is harmless, more important is the second.

It comes from a long history: While upgrading from 2005 -> 2007 packages
we carried over some configurations from texlive-base-bin.cnf in
/etc/texmf/fmt.d into texlive-base.cnf (same dir).

These additional lines created some problem in the 2009 version, as
the 2009 version of fmtutil introduced a loop detection mechanism so
that mutliple format definitions are leading to an error.

The code in the texlive-base.postinst in the *current* version in testing
now unconditionally edits texlive-base.cnf in place creating a backup
file
        /etc/texmf/fmt.d/texlive-base.cnfpre-edit
even if no changes were necessary (i.e., when you have not upgraded all
the way from etch).

The change in this package no protects this in place editing with
a check whether the actual target line really occurs.

----------------------
For both packages we consider it not essential to have them in the
release, but it would be nice.

I attach the edited debdiff output (there are many more lines, like
svn version changes in the header etc but they are not of actual
relevance).

Thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert

KIBBLESWORTH (n.)
The footling amount of money by which the price of a given article in
a shop is less than a sensible number, in a vain hope that at least
one idiot will think it cheap. For instance, the kibblesworth on a
pair of shoes priced at £19.99 is 1p.
