As we just found out, this is wrong: dh_installtex already does proper checking. So it seems only tetex-base needs to be fixed. But I'd still like to have advice from the release team: Should we upload tetex-base (currently 7 days old, unblocked) now, with urgency=high, or is the bug not RC and we should wait until the current sid version has migrated?
