No, sorry,...
OK. It was reverted, anyway.

My mistake. I meant build-depends, or rather I would have meant had I
thought before writing. I do think, however, that it's correct to
explicitly Build-Depend on tex-common, because you explicitly use
commands from it.
Not explicitly, I think. They are now replaced with dh_installtex
auto-generated commands.

And it's buggy, sorry. If the user has deleted thai.map, it's still
registered as a conffile, and thus the test will succeed. After that,
however, rm will fail: No such file or directory. Either put in an
additional test for file exisitence, or do rm -f 2>/dev/null.
OK. I now use rm -f 2>/dev/null.
