It would be a good idea to get rid of virtual/tetex, because it indicates not a
logical functionality but a specific implementation. tetex is being gradually
replaced by texlive; packages which require some LaTeX (or TeX) functionality
should depend on virtual/latex-base (or virtual/tex-base). This allows users to
switch an implementation (tetex -> texlive, for example). Also, a number of
these packages have the USE flag tetex, which should be, probably, replaced by
the global USE flag latex (maybe, tex also should become a global USE flag, if
there are enough packages with plain TeX support), see bug #196745. Here is a
list of packages; it there are really *good* reasons to depend on virtaul/tetex
and not virtual/latex-base (i.e., tetex cannot be replaced by texlive as a
dependency of some specific package), then, of course, the virtaul/tetex will
remain for time being; but such cases require a careful examination - maybe,
they can use texlive instead.

app-emacs/slime calls texi2dvi and needs texinfo.tex, so the dependency would
be something like ...
virtual/latex-base
|| ( dev-texlive/texlive-texinfo app-text/tetex app-text/ptex )
... which doesn't look very elegant to me.
Please advise what should be done in this case. Should a virtual for texinfo be
introduced?
I've switched
sci-mathematics/pari
sci-libs/itpp
over to virtual/latex-base.
Both sys-cluster/charm and sci-mathematics/nusmv need
more than what is provided virtual/latex-base and I have
yet to track down the proper dependencies.
Best,
Markus
virtual/tetex has been removed from
sys-cluster/charm
sci-mathematics/nusmv

Your solution is identical to what I am already using for several packages
since virtual/latex-base does not provide all that is needed.
However, the additional requirements are often different, e.g.,
texlive-latexextra or texlive-genericrecommended which means we'd
need virtuals for all of them.
Best,
Markus
app-emacs/slime done:
"virtual/tetex" dependency replaced by "virtual/latex-base || (
dev-texlive/texlive-texinfo app-text/tetex app-text/ptex )"
net-dialup/mgetty now depends on virtual/latex-base (all it needs is the dvips
program).
I just fixed:
sci-biology/wise
sci-chemistry/moldy
sci-misc/gri
Best,
Markus
Ew, filing One Big Bug usually doesn't work.

Changed again to depend on the new virtual/texi2dvi, see bug 230473.
dev-tex/catdvi fixed (although it's not in the above list).
opfer did pigin-latex, net-im out
kde-base/kdvi
done with USE=tetex transition
app-vim/latexsuite
dev-perl/Template-Latex
x11-plugins/pidgin-latex
are fixed
sys-power/powersave fixed
sys-cluster/mpich2
net-analyzer/ns
sys-power/apcupsd
fixed
sci-geosciences/gpsbabel fixed
dev-python/pyx fixed
No ebuild uses it anymore, so probably we should get rid of virtual/tetex
altogether?

lemme see if I get this right:
- remove the line from base/virtuals and embedded/virtuals
- remove the provides from the ebuilds/eclasses
is there anything I'm missing?

That should be all, as far as the tree is concerned.

Update the documentation. ;-)

Shouldn't these go as well?
