Yes, it is documented and planned that way. Generally, we do not update packages from CTAN, but instead wait for upstream to release a new version of the teTeX collection. However, this is a case where the package is practically unusable. I have therefore started a list of packages that have such grave bugs, and we will probably include a new version in Debian in case there is no new upstream version soon. The list will soon become available at http://pkg-tetex.alioth.debian.org/update.html Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
