I, too, took a look (texlive maintainer):
- You can remove postinst and postrm, the code in there is automatically
generated by dh_installtex (update of the ls-r database, and calling
updmap). The only reason one would have to use the original code is
that it can be backported to woody (sarge already has tetex3).
So I recommend to let dh_installtex generate all the necessary code.
As there is no other code in postinst and postrm, you can actually
remove it from the debian directory. It will be created by debhelper
if necessary.
- control:
you could depend on tetex >= 3 as the misc:Depends pulls in tex-common
via the dh_installtex, so this cannot work with tetex2.
Furthermore, please consider adding an alternative dependency for
texlive. I don't know exactely what you need from tetex-bin/base, but
one option would be
tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin, tetex-base | texlive-latex-base
(no versions at all necessary as misc:depends brings tex-common)
Best wishes
