How does this integrate with the rest of the debian-sarge system?
Does everything (both the official debian-TeX and this backport) comply
with the official TeX Document Structure? And will they work together

suppplied with Suse or Mandrake to the official TeX-Live dist, and the
Linux-system kept complaining, that there was no TeX-system available)
