No. Probably no, because the TeX live packages do not provide X support
and probably don't have any additional features. Furthermore, there will
not be "one deb package per font set", thus the fonts will be included
in a big collection, prohibiting installation with tetex.

I agree. If
. the package works with tex-common, ie with the upcoming
TeX Font Policy, and
. contains the same or more fonts compared to TeX live
then I will leave out the fonts from the texlive packages and depend on
the respective debian package instead.

Well, as *all* packages are automatically created from one script and
one config file, it is not too bad. But getting rid of stuff is always
good, as currently to many Debian things are accumulating on my side.

KANTURK (n.)
An extremely intricate knot originally used for belaying the
topgallant foresheets of a gaff-rigged China clipper, and now more
commonly observed when trying to get an old kite out of the cupboard
under the stairs.
