Additionally, I'd like to point out that two packages have already been
split out of tetex packages to correct this accident, texinfo[1] and
texi2html, and this hasn't caused any major problems (readjustment of a
couple of dependencies). So, I propose that xdvi is moved out.

[1] which probably should have been texinfo and texidoc, but that's an
unrelated screwup on my part :)
