Ugg. Sebastian, you said you have done this nearly finished.

What to do with Package/xyz which is included in *several* collections
or schemes?

I have generated a list of these packages. Here is an excerpt of some
funny/problematic stuff:
cm:
        collection-basic
        collection-fontsextra
        collection-langcyrillic
        collection-latexextra
        collection-pdfetex
        scheme-context
courier:
        collection-fontsextra
        collection-fontsrecommended
...

Note that this means, that collection-fontsextra EXPLICITELY asks for
courier, and collection-fontsrecommended the same.

Thus, we can NOT automatically include all explicit Require Package/*
in the debian packages, this would mean that some files would be in
several places.

So how do we solve this?

- Work over the list and fix it so that every package is only Required
  in ONE collection/scheme, and schemes do NOT ask for *explicit*
  packages but only other collections?
- other suggestions?

At the moment there are 77 packages which are references in more than
one collection/scheme.

Best wishes

Norbert
