I already saw that and wanted to contact you to talk about a possible overhanding of xmltex (I saw, that the xmltex page says, it's part of texlive). > We therefore intend to essentially take over xmltex and passivetex, No objections from me.

If you want to re-add it (as part of texlive-xml), please also check http://bugs.debian.org/291813 http://bugs.debian.org/xmlto (some bugs there are IIRC related to passivetex issues) I'm not CCed to Debian TeX maintainers list, so please CC me, if you answer from there.
