Thanks for the bug report. Can you still reproduce that bug with
tetex-extra-2.0.2-4.1 and
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty
Package: hyperref 2003/01/22 v6.73n Hypertext links for LaTeX
? I can't. Would you be so kind to close that bug if it is fixed?
Please send an E-Mail to 176049-done@bugs.debian.org if so.
