Upstream ships source.tar.bz2, my plan was that one can drop the
./debian subdirectory of any texlive source package into the TeXlive DVD
(with unpacked tpms) and run make -f debian/rules binary.

Maybe a vain hope ...

Best wishes

TREWOFFE (n.)
A very thick and heavy drift of snow balanced precariously on the
edoge of a door porch waiting for what it judges to be the correct
moment to fall. From the ancient Greek legend 'The Treewofe of
Damocles'.
