Hi Reuben,

thanks for the report.  I'm resending this to the BTS so that we won't
forget about it.  I put your name in the From of the e-mail so that the
BTS correctly records you as the submitter, I'm in the Sender:. I hope
this works and is okay for you.

Hi,

this bug is fixed since long, the onlyh problem is that the
documents on people.debian.org are outdated.

The correct document is to be found int
	/usr/share/doc/tex-common/
and does not state these conflicting things.

Closing this bug (and will care for cleaning up the mess on
people.debian.org)

Norbert
