Package: texlive-latex-recommended
Version: 2007.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important

Hi,

thanks for maintaining texlive!

For some reason (I've not found it in the list of removed stuff)
ps4pdf.sty is missingl, it used to be in this package in etch.
If it is not for license reasons, could you reinclude it?
While the CTAN page says it's obsolete, it seems to be the only at least
half-documented option to use ps stuff in pdflatex and is bound to be
used in legacy documents.

Kind regards

T.
