Package: lilypond-data
Version: Should depend on tetex or texlive
Severity: wishlist
As it is now, lilypond-data PreDepends on tetex-bin, which make lilypond
pulls in tetex. Which is a problem if you have installed texlive instead
of tetex.
So lilypond-data should PreDepend on texlive-base-bin | tetex-bin
(or something like this).

The alternative on texlive has been added meanwhile, so I'm closing this
bug.
Just a comment, with TeX maintainer hat on, to the rest of the
discussion in this bug:
> Why do texlive and tetex-bin conflict?
Because they provide binaries of the same name and functionality.
> It is not allowed for two Priority: optional packages to conflict.
Where do you get this impression from?
http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt says:
,----
| If two packages cannot be installed together, one must list the other
| in its "Conflicts:" field.
|
| [...]
|
| Packages must not install programs in the default PATH with different
| functionality with the same file name, even if they Conflict:.
`----
teTeX and TeXLive both conform to this policy, and I also cannot find
anything in the Debian Policy that would disallow conflicting (and also,
nobody has ever complained).
In lenny, teTeX will be dropped, but this was not yet possible for
etch.
