AFAIK PhD is a generic document processor, so there _can_ be. Even
though there are none in Debian yet, there advantages in having the two
separate, e.g.: you can update them separately, you get a proper
uscan/watch notification of new versions of the two, users can use PhD
themselves, etc; all in all, packaging them separately seems to me to be
more the "Debian way" of doing things, YMMV.
Of course there are disadvantages too, such as the fact that, right now,
PhD will need to pass through NEW.

That sounds about right.
Thanks for getting back on this!
Cheers.
