In this case, it will be another choice to include cweb
in tetex-* packages as you know.
And as far as I tested in a bit old system with only the
newest libkpathsea3 installed
civic:~$ dpkg -l libkpathsea3 tetex-bin jtex-bin ptex-bin dvipsk-ja dvi2ps xdvik-ja

||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii libkpathsea3 2.0-2 shared libkpathsea for teTeX
ii tetex-bin 1.0.7+20021025 teTeX binary files
ii jtex-bin 1.8-5.1 Japanese TeX (NTT version) and other japanes
ii ptex-bin 3.0.5+0.04-2 ASCII pTeX binary files
ii dvipsk-ja 5.90a+jp1.5g-3 DVI-to-PostScript translator with Japanese s
ii dvi2ps 3.0a1-5 TeX DVI-driver for NTT jTeX, MulTeX and ASCI
ii xdvik-ja 22.15-j1.04-4 X-window TeX previewer using vflib2 for Japa
- dviwares like xdvik-ja, dvipsk-ja seemed to work fine
as I expected though they showed the same message as cweave.
civic:~/scr/tex/sample/platex$ dvips -f plnews07 > plnews07.ps

- However dvi2ps has a bit problem. It has a special
mechanism "fontdesc" for font searching in additin to
kpathsea but it seemed that mechanism did not work and
simply usual kpathsea worked so it failed to find Japanes
fonts (but no problem with English/ascii fonts, perhaps)
- jtex-bin and ptex-bin seemed to work fine if they were
already installed. They might cause the problem only
at installation or removal.
So I suspect there would be only a few or several packages
which really need to be setted Conflicts: in libkpathse3.
