5 I'm not sure I understand your question...
6 The tex packages that should go into the three trees is not necessarily
7 the packages that ships with texlive (the texmf tree that is downloaded
8 with the current texlive ebuild is the same as the one shipped in the
9 .iso file), they could just as well come from ctan (or any other place
10 for that matter, as long as the licenses are clear).
11 So what one should do is go to ctan and figure out the interdeps between
12 packages that goes into the texmf trees.

14 And some of the bigger packages (beamer,...) should _not_ be in the
15 texmf trees, since we want to be able to upgrade those without making a
16 new release of the temxf trees (which forces users to download a large
17 file again).
