I'd go further, by asking why there must be so many binary packages. Of course, granularity is good, but too much granularity only means confusion. When I install a TeX system, I want a working environment without wondering if I need to install tex-foo or tex-bar. That's why I'm happy with the current naming scheme of tetex. A few packages, with clear names, and no one is lost. I know you're going to tell me there will be metapackages, and that I should just use them. But it also means even more packages, which aren't easily distinguishable from others. I've seen users not understanding why installing gnome-session doesn't bring a complete, working, GNOME "session", and I'm afraid your naming scheme will lead to similar issues. Regards, -- .''`.
