Sync texlive-base 2012.20120611-5 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

There are quite a few reverse-depends. While from the description, it doesn't seem like this new release would break any of those, we are quite close to the release, so this is a risky sync. Does this fix specific bugs in Ubuntu? Would it be better to upload this to quantal-proposed or wait until the release and SRU it? Have you tried any of the reverse-depends with this new version and have you noticed any problems?

The bugs are both in Debian and Ubuntu. Even if they have not been
reported in Ubuntu, an upgrade from the previous release of Ubuntu
you will see the same problems of conffiles getting lost.

Read the bug report mentioned in the changelog, Andreas Beckmann is
doing piuparts upgrade tests. And since the last released versions
of the TeX Live packages are the same in Debian and Ubuntu, you will
suffer from the same problems.

Best wishes
