Yes, looks good.

I'm not sure this is necessary. Of course we have to make tetex-base and
tetex-bin mutually depend on the new versions (bin on base_2.0.2-6 and
base on bin_2.0.2-8). But since there are no files that are overwritten,
and all the changes to the filesystem are in the postinst (or *rm)
scripts, I currently don't see why we have to conflict?

Wasn't it rather that on that date the next progress report for the
installer is scheduled, and it is planned to semi-freeze base packages
from then on?
