Dear all! I would suggest to close this bug. See attached email from the maintainer of platex asking for removal.
I did correctly remember something, but forgot the exact point. If you are search for the discussion, please see the discussion starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-tex-maint/2007/02/msg00396.html where also the attached email can be fount.

One who offers to help just after all the work has been done. --- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff Dear All Involved Parties ;) As the maintainer of platex (the Polish one) I vote for dropping the Polish platex format file. I'm also open to renaming the directory in the TeX inputs subtree. The separate format file is no longer needed. Typesetting in Polish is perfectly possible with the default Babel-based format (provided Polish hyphenation patterns are enabled). [The 'Polish' hyphen.cfg was my reaction to rather strange status of Babel which is not part of the LaTeX kernel yet it adds some new user-visible commands to the format file (e.g., \selectlanguage). I used to claim that Babel breaks LaTeX rules (see cfgguide, p. 5). I still find it at best terribly misleading that cfgguide points to Babel as a model for customizing hyphenation, but if one follows that hint one ends up with a hyphen.cfg incompatible with LaTeX's license.] As for the directory in the inputs area, the main item there is polski.sty --- a package for typesetting in Polish. Other files are mainly of historical importance (support for strange ways of encoding Polish letters in source files) or will become such soon (support for the 'PL' family of fonts being phased out by Latin Modern). So I think it is acceptable to rename the directory after the main package: polski/. With best, Marcin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
