Please check before setting wrong severity levels, or even better check
yourself!
This is a bug in texpower packaging, it should call dh_installtex ONLY
for the texpower and not for the texpower-manual package. As with ALL
dh_ scripts there are -p -A etc options.
And texpower (bin) packages *HAS* tex files so needs tex-common.
So please bug texpower not us.

dh_installtex -p texpower
fixes this, I have tried it myself.
