Thanks for participating!
I just closed the poll (100 participants is such great number for
calculating percentages ;)). The final result:
64 votes for: Remove LaTeX from grml
20 votes for: Keep LaTeX on grml
15 votes for: grml devs, do whatever you think might be the best
1 invalid vote (user decided to select none of the valid options)
So just 20% voted for keeping LaTeX - as a result I removed the
LaTeX (related) packages from grml (GRML_FULL) for now. The
grml-live build framework provides a new class named LATEX now:
http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=commit;h=f6622a6
Drop LaTeX packages from GRML_FULL; provide LATEX class
This means that it's possible to build grml providing LaTeX on your
own by just enabling the LATEX class in the grml-live cmdline.
The current daily snapshots of grml are build *without* LaTeX
already:

Note: this doesn't necessarily mean that LaTeX has gone from grml
forever. For now we will drop LaTeX and work towards the next stable
release but let's see what future brings. :)
