Comment:
 Ok. debathena-cluster now depends on debathena-tex-config, which should
 re-configure pdftex, dvips, and a few other utilities to generate letter
 documents by default. (change uploaded to -proposed)

 I still think that this is a package that wants to be in -standard or
 -clients, but I'm out of energy to fight for it.

 We should test installing the package. We should test pdftex and dvips
 with the package installed. We should uninstall the package and use diff
 to test that it successfully removes any customizations it installed.

 Since this is only going into -cluster for now, I'll be satisfied if
 someone can just verify the first two of those. This should sit in
 -proposed for at least 2 business days. I'll move it to production after 2
 days, or when someone verifies the package functionality, which ever comes
 last.
