OK, that's fine with me. The current requirement for the teTeX flavour is more hystorical accident than anything else. It works pretty much out of the box, which was an important requirement, without requiring the user (or the port maintainer, which would probably have ended up being me) having to go out and fetch all the additional packages for TeX that teTeX comes bundled with. A 'lite' TeX installation that lets FDP contributors build PS and PDF versions of the docs without needing the full install of teTeX would be a useful option to have.
