Yes but tetex-extra should be depends on the corresponding
tetex-base, fundamentally.

Under the above condition, tetex-extra Provides: tetex-eurosym
and tetex-base Conflicts: tetex-eurosym so tetex-extra can't
be installed.

I am inclined now that it would be the best to install all 
eurosym stuffs in tetex-extra and set every dependency with
tetex-extra.
