Problem upgrading tetex-*, gs, gsfonts



I've experienced some problems while trying to upgrade my tetex-{bin,base,extra}
packages :

i've successfully updated these versions :
ii  tetex-bin                        1.0.7+20001218-4
ii  tetex-base                       1.0.2+20000804-8
ii  tetex-extra                      1.0.2+20000804-8

to these :
ii  tetex-bin                       1.0.7+20011202-2
ii  tetex-base                      1.0.2+20011202-1
ii  tetex-extra                     1.0.2+20011202-1

however when i tried to use dvips or xdvi to visualise files, then went
porblems with gs, the version was :
ii  gs                              5.50-8         

I have upgraded gs to version :
ii  gs                              6.51-7

Some problems were solved, but not all, with the fonts. then i've upgraded
gsfonts from :
ii  gsfonts                         5.10a-2

to version :
ii  gsfonts                         6.0-2

hopefully, that was all.

Don't know if i'm right but there should be a dependancy for gsfonts and gs in
tetex-bin package : neither xdvi nor dvips can correctly operate without a good
gs/gsfonts installation. There is only a "Suggests gs" in tetex-bin and a
"Recommends psfonts" in gs. A bug report should be posted about this or not ?
Which severity for this kind of problem ?
