TeX is like black magic to me. The only thing I have to add is that
Debian "compiles" (or however it works) as a post-install hook, and they
have a DD who also works on TeX itself. However, as a binary
distribution, they have no incentive to break it up into smaller pieces.
Gentoo might be better with that, but I have no idea.
