I wouldn't say it was a permanent arrangement, and this is just a stage of
transition in development.
At present, texlive has dependencies from within both.
Eventually, one of these will disappear during an upgrade.
It may be worth an enquiry to the TUG:

I shouldn't think this would be Debian specific.
