I thought the tetex packages were in the process of becoming
transitional packages that would handle the switch from tetex to
texlive for users, much like firefox automagickly replaced itself with
iceweasel. Not that that convinced me not to do the switch manually,
but for the patient why won't this 'settle on it's own'?
