Herbert: And are you going to provide such a package? Your current
package does *not* provide compatibility for thousands of options,
macros, features and even whole fonts (outline, shadow) of the original
libertine.sty. It's great that *your* "thousands of files" apparently
don't need those features but other users' files likely do. Instead of
simply installing the compatibility style that works for you in *your*
tex system, you've now imposed it on TeXLive. I hope you're prepared as
maintainer to deal with complaints from other users. There *is* a simple
solution to the compatibility issue: users who can't use the new type1
packages should install libertine-legacy from CTAN.

BTW, it will *not* be possible to make the new type1 packages fully
compatible with libertine-legacy; for example, upstream no longer
supports outline and shadow fonts.
