Only by my poor memory, some files were moved from tetex-bin
to tetex-base (and/or vice versa) so it needed for tetex-base 
to replace tetex-bin at about around 2.0.2-2.

Same here and it seemed we were already talking about
this in BTS ;)

I'm not sure but I suspect only conflict will make upgrade
not so smooth.  In unstable, it is not so rare that one fails
to upgrade a package with messages like

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/foo.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite
`/some/where/some/duplicated/file', which is also in
package bar

I guess this is caused by lack of replace relation.
