Thanks for the pointer. For some reason I overread the link, sorry.

Anyway, it looked like the only thing left to do was to include two
directories in the package, so I added two lines to
debian/tex4ht.install:

../texmf/tex4ht/bin /usr/share/texmf/tex4ht
../texmf/tex4ht/xttl /usr/share/texmf/tex4ht

I removed two patches from debian/patches/fix_tex4ht_env.diff that are
now part of the upstream sources and reenabled the xtpipes call by
removing the patch from fix_mk4ht.diff

After rebuilding and installing the updated package the conversion works
like charm. Thanks a lot!

However, while this solves *my* problem I'm not sure whether the
official package can take this path. Two things come to my mind:

 1. I simply included the binary stuff, but I still do not know where the
    sources are that where used to build it. BTW: What is this: byte
        code? (remember: I'm a complete java dummy)
 2. I'm running the sun-java5-jre package from nonfree. Adding the now
    necessary dependency to this package would make tex4ht essentially a
        contrib package -- a pretty high price for solving this problem. I
        have not tested if other java versions would work. 
        I'll do that as soon as I figure out how to build the binaries that
        I just included.


So far.


Best,

Michael
