Hi, may not be related, but with one of the tools we can make use of, Virtual Box, was very outdated in the repos. It took a bit of asking around, (read as begging :P ) to get the updated version into the repo. If the manual team are keen on using texlive, it needs a sponsor for debian repos. Once that is done, the request for it into the ubuntu repo's is pretty much a formality.
