Package: dvipdfmx
Severity: wishlist

Dear dvipdfmx Maintainers and all other interested ones!

You may not have noticed that there are now two packages providing
TeX functionality in Debian. Recently TeX live packages have been added
to Debian and are currently available in the experimental branch.

ATM the TeX live packages include their own version of dvipdfmx as
shipped with TeX live (2005), but I would like to replace the included
dvipdfmx with a dependency or recommendation for the Debian dvipdfmx
package.

Unfortunately currently dvipdfmx depends only on tetex(-base,-bin).
I would suggest the following adaptions:
- Change the dependency on tetex-bin and tetex-base in both cases
  to | texlive-base-bin
(and by the way maybe you want to eliminate the texmf.d file as there is
already an entry for CMAP in tex-common and thus in texmf.cnf)

This way I can depend on Recommend: dvipdfmx in texlive-base.

Thanks a lot for your attention and all the best

Norbert
