There are a couple of issues: - pointless versions in the Build-Depends for the tetex packages (satisfied at least in woody, if not potato) - Build-Depends on tetex-base, a package which never provided any relevant functionality to any package except tetex-bin These two were bugs even for etch, and of wishlist or minor severity - Build-Depends on tetex-*, which are transitional packages in lenny which are meant as a help for users, but should *never* occur in a control file. This is an important bug which will get RC after lenny, at which time the transitional packages will vanish.
