No, TeXlive.  I hope TeXlive 2006 will be released before 2007?

No, Debian etch will have TeXlive 2005, no matter how fast TeXlive 2006
is released.

Yes, the files are the actual mess.  Me talking about the tpm files is
because for Debian we use the tpm files to put things in place.  And
also because they are a better entry point to sorting things out than
the actual directories, which are dispersed among different subtrees
(afm, tfm, pfb, ...)
