Alf, I have 9 source packages in my experimental PPA which take up about 3GB of space. I believe there are a few more less used source packages I haven't bothered adding yet.

As bug free as texlive may be, I don't think the Ubuntu Release Team wants to do this transition 6 weeks after Feature Freeze when we're supposed to be in heavy-duty LTS bug-fixing mode. Also, there may very well be bugs in the Debian packaging or perhaps bugs in packages that build their docs with tex.

If a Release Team member gives the go-ahead, then sure, I can help out with this, but I'm not going to fight for it to happen as there's no way I can test gigabytes of code this week.
