Wow! Thanks for that (not that I have looked for followups in
debian-user yet, will look tomorrow).

Yes, please do. Chances are that the maintainer hasn't realized.
Which isn't surprising considering the number of packages for LaTeX.

xdvi doesn't work for overlays.
It seems like Tim is now actively maintaining the software again.
Yah! Hopefully, he will fix the known bugs without requiring
the work around, "seminar.bug" and "seminar.bg2".
However, I think this problem might be with dvips and/or gs. Will
investigate in more detail later.
Anyone know any tips for debugging postscript? How to turn the error
message into a line number would be really good.
