+<h1><a name="general">General</a></h1>
+
+<h2><a name="policy">Enforce the TeX Policy in add-on packages</a></h2>
+
+<p>We should drop the TDS compatibility hack from tex-common ASAP.</p>
+<p>What else needs to be done? Should we somehow check all packages
+that do not use dh_installtex (Build-Depend on tex-common) whether
+they comply?</p>
+
+<h2><a name="transition-texlive">Transition from teTeX to TeXlive</a></h2>
+
+This can be divided into a couple of sub-issues:
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Build libkpathsea4 from either TeXlive, or a separate pacakge</li>
+ <li>Make sure that no package Depends on teTeX alone </li>
+ <li>Make sure that TeXlive is always the primary choice</li>
+ <li>Make sure that no package Build-Depends on teTeX alone </li>
+ <li>Make sure that TeXlive is the primary choice for Build-Depends </li>
+ <li>Make sure that all packages that (even indirectly) Build-Depend
+ on TeX have once been built with TeXlive, and have correct dependencies </li>
+</ul>
+
+There are a couple of possible schemes and timelines to achieve this:
+<ol>
+ <li>With some warning in advance, drop the teTeX packages
+ completely, see what happens and deal with the mess
+ </li>
+ <li>Make the teTeX packages transitional packages, see what happens
+ and deal with the (much smaller) mess</li>
+ <li>Find all packages that (Build-)Depend, Recommend or Suggest any
+ teTeX package, file bug reports and monitor how they are fixed; do
+ the same with respect to TeXlive being (not yet) the primary
+ choice.</li>
+ <li>any other way to do it?</li>
+</ol>
+
+We should decide which way we prefer, and contact the release team
+before doing the final decision.
+
+
+<h2><a name="license"></a>Completely clean up license situation</h2>
+
+This involves checking all packages, the infrastructure is in
+<kbd>tpm2licenses.pl</kbd>. Hopefully, Rogério and his students will
+help here.
+
+
+<h1><a name="texlive"></a>texlive</h1>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Document the packaging better, so that the unititiated are able
+ to build a package from SVN.
+</li>
+<li>Package TeXlive 2006, at least.</li>
+<li>Decide whether TeXlive continues to work with conffile links and a
+ separate <kbd>/etc/texmf/texlive</kbd>, or switch to the teTeX
+ scheme, and implement if needed.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h1><a name="teTeX">teTeX</a></h1>
+
+<p>I don't think we should put much work in teTeX, except one thing:</p>
+
+<h2><a name="bug-cleanup">Bug cleanup</a></h2>
+
+We should inspect each bug on a teTeX package, and check whether it
+should be closed or reassigned to TeXlive:
+<ol>
+ <li>Bugs that are clearly associated with teTeX packaging (including
+ some non-reproducible upgrading bugs) can be closed once teTeX vanishes </li>
+ <li>Bugs that request features, file inclusions etc. can either be
+ closed if the wish is fulfilled in TeXlive, or should be
+ transferred.</li>
+ <li>Open bugs against packages or executables that also exist in
+ TeXlive should be reassigned/cloned. </li>
+ <li>There'll probably a couple that don't fit into these
+ categories... </li>
+</ol>
+<p>Whether we clone or reassign depends on the timeline of teTeX's vanishing. </p>
