I am still new to this so excuse me if the following are a newbie-ish: 1. Do I need to continue to support the Debian-specific "/usr/bin/tex4ht-ht"? Its correctly named version is "ht" as before. 2. How does one indicate to the Debian Package management system that there is now no choice and the alternatives management for "ht" should be dropped entirely? Thanks for the information. I'm forwarding (1) and (2) to debian-mentors for some help as well.
