Description: texlive-bin should depend on core/ed but doesn't

The /usr/bin/texconfig script in extra/texlive-bin, which is used to change texlive system settings, relies on /usr/bin/ed to edit config files. This fails silently if /usr/bin/ed is not installed, which is what happened to me. After installing the core/ed package, all was well. This means that core/ed should be declared as a dependency of extra/texlive-bin, but it currently isn't.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2010.1-4

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  Added as an optional dependency in texlive-bin 2010.1-7, since that functionality is not essential to normal use.
