Package: tex4ht
Version: 20070904-1
Severity: normal

The support scripts such as oolatex are all filed away in
/usr/share/tex4ht/, so running "oolatex file" does not work.  Only
htlatex and a small number of others are available in /usr/bin.

I think the most common input format for tex4ht would be a LaTeX file,
and the most common output format would be either xhtml or
OpenDocument (odt).  The html format is already available via htlatex,
so the only script (for the more common formats) missing in /usr/bin
is oolatex. 

Could you therefore add oolatex to /usr/bin (as a symlink to
/usr/share/tex4ht if appropriate) ?  Some mention of oolatex should
then be added to the man page, and to the package decription.

This will make tex4ht perform much more "as expected", I think.

Thanks, 
Drew
