Right, so it is not disturbing ;-)

Right, completely useless.

Yes, indeed.

Why? THere is no file conflict, that is actually against the
recommendations in the Debian Developers guide lines.

Welllll, I don't see much of motivation for that ... people
using latex will anyway have latex-recommended installed, anything
else is quite useless.
I actually don't see a bug here ...

FRAMLINGHAM (n.)
A kind of burglar alarm usage. It is cunningly designed so that it can
ring at full volume in the street without apparently disturbing
anyone. Other types of framlingams are burglar alarms fitted to
business premises in residential areas, which go off as a matter of
regular routine at 5.31 p.m. on a Friday evening and do not get turned
off til 9.20 a.m. on Monday morning.
