Package: tetex-base
Version: 2007-13
Severity: serious

Hi

>From the description

 teTeX is no longer developed upstream, and has been replaced by the TeX
 Live collection.  This is a transitional package to bring former teTeX 
 users a decent selection of TeX Live packages.  It  can be safely removed 
 (unless some external packages still depend on tetex-base).

However the package does not depend or recommend any packages, and so
doesn't provide "a decent selection of TeX Live packages."

Thanks for you work in Debian.
Andrew V.

tetex-base is transitional in Debian stable and gone in
unstable/testing. It doesn't make sense to try to fix the description
-> closing.
