If the user has ever seen this note, it will be arked as "seen" in debconf's 
database and not be shown anymore, unless it is running in reconfigure mode. 
This is sometime not desirable, so if you need to show that note at all 
costs, you can clear this seen flag by:

db_fset tetex-bin/changed-default seen false
