Do you need a different package or a target in debian/rules? >From the above paragraph I could read that a target in debian/rules suffice, but that sounds unrealistic. Are there any other problems than the tex4ht.jar? I would actually prefer to ship texlive-binaries without the need to rebuild the jar, but that is a requirement. If a debian/rules target is not enough, I only see the way to create an additional packages texlive-binaries-java that only contains the .jar file (and maybe others in future). Another idea - but I am not sure whether this is possible - would be to move the jar file into texlive-plain-generic where all the other tex4ht files are. But that would interfere with the arch=all status of texlive-plain-generic I guess. Grateful for any ideas, proposals, advice!
