If there are separately maintained packages, one single tree forces us
and the separate maintainer to coordinate.  

Back then, the reason for the separation was that the TeX system on
Debian, teTeX, had very slow release cycles.  The idea was to have fast
developping packages in a separate tree, overriding the older files from
teTeX. This does not make sense nowadays.
