Is there a list of tetex-base/tetex-extra packages? If yes I could check
wether all packages in tetex are also in texlive, and in which
sub-package.

(Alex is not subscribed to any of these lists, I suppose).

The problem is that texinfo depends on texlive-basic, which in turn
depends on texlive-basicbin and texlive-documentation-base, so this
would need to pull in all the texlive packages.
