As long as aptitude is clever enough to realise this, then please go
ahead and remove cweb from sarge.
The CVS version of tetex-bin, which has just been uploaded to unstable
(and was built on a machine running sarge), has as its only change a
fix of this bug (it replaces the conflict with a versioned conflict).
The new dummy cweb package which now depends on tetex-bin has been
sitting in unstable for almost a month but has not yet migrated.
So I suggest letting:
* tetex-bin_2.0.2-29 (and packages built from it: libkpathsea3 and
libkpathsea-dev)
* cweb_3.64.debian-2
into sarge.
