We should consider this, so I opened a bug report. texlive-minimal is
for sure not the correct name for the current "texlive" binary
package. With that name, every developer would assume that it's some
minimal collection needed for building of autogenerated input files
(that's the only connection most non-TeX-addict Debian developers have
with TeXLive).
texlive-medium doesn't sound very nice to me. Other suggestions?

texlive-standard sounds good IMHO, as well as texlive-typical.
texlive-general also comes to mind.
Best regards

As Karl already objected, the "standard" or "typical" installation, as far as
the TL team is concerned, is a *full* installation. The problem with the current
name "texlive" is precisely that people could think it is the standard, so
"texlive-standard" would be even wors IMHO.
I like the texlive-basic proposal by Ulrike, which is quite clear.
Manuel.
