Expected and supposed to be tlike that.

texlive-binaries does *NOT* provide any working system at all.
Its existence is only for sepration of arch-indeop and arch-dep files.

On the Debian side this is wontfix bug, I have no intention to make 
any changes in this area.

Best wishes

One of the rather unfunny newspaper clippings pinned to an office
wall, the humour of which is supposed to derive from the fact that the
headline contains a name similar to that of one of the occupants to
the office.
