Before to do this, could we try to change the preinst script of
tetex to detect if the previous version of TeX is installed as it has
already been proposed here? This scheme has been working for several
packages, so why not tetex? (Of course if for some reason it doesn't
work, we'll have to delay tetex a bit more).
