I=E2=80=99ve worked to fix incomplete packages some time ago.  That=E2=80=
=99s why I
extended svn-fetch to accept multiple locations inside of an SVN
repository, because TeX Live packages often are made up of files from
various places in the repository.

I also worked on the profile hook and the texlive-union procedure, which
fixed a bunch of problems.

I don=E2=80=99t think it=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Cbeen broken for a year=E2=80=9D=
.  I=E2=80=99m still using it without
problems.  I really think that the problem with LaTeX is overstated and
it would be easier to fix individual problems if they had bug reports.

I might take a look at 33094 later, but I wouldn=E2=80=99t mind at all if
someone else did the work.
