Be aware that texlive.tcz should be substantially enhanced.
Specifically, kpathsea's environment variables (TEXMFxxxx, TEXINPUTS, etc...) are not properly set, preventing the usage of, e.g., .sty files and packages.
Unless the user manually specifies them on the command line each time, but this requires deep knowledge of TDS, and lots of typing.
Indeed, this point requires some ad-hoc handling of kpathsea
initialization file when building the tcz (I've been using a private texlive extension since 2010 and have faced such issues on my own).
I'm wondering what is the best thing to do now: I just wrote the maintainer asking him the authorization to take his/her place, but I'm not sure if there are better moves.
