How do you want to check whether it is a brandnew system? Yes you get
arguments like these, but only if you upgrade from an old tetex
package, not when replacing old tex packages. This is a problem with
dpkg which can't handle replacements of more than one packages by a
single package. So I have no idea how to change this.

Hopefully in the future we can drop the check, when allmost all
systems have upgraded to at leas 1.3.
