Bug Description

Prior versions of texlive-music did contain both musictex and musixtex. The current version seems to have dropped the first of these two packages.
If this has been done by accident I ask you to include it again since I am using this package. Since musixtex depends on an external tool and needs three-pass compilation providing the old musictex that doesn't have these disadvantages still might make sense.
If the resolution of this bug is "won't fix" I would be willing to change my TeX files and build scripts, though: dropping the package might have been done on purpose instead since musixtex is kind of a successor of musictex.
