it's debian slink (frozen), but it used to be hamm.
It's only got whatever debian installs as tetex.
Changing /var/spool/texmf recursively to group latex and making it
group writable solves the ls-R write problem, until texhash runs,
including the nightly cron, and changes it back to root.
Is there somewhere else i should be looking for the pk?
