In tetex-bin.postinst i suggest to replace
  if [ ! -L /usr/lib/texmf/web2c ]
  then
    if [ -d /usr/lib/texmf/web2c ]
    then
      cp -a /usr/lib/texmf/web2c/* /var/lib/texmf/web2c || true
      rm -fr /usr/lib/texmf/web2c
    fi
    ln -sf /var/lib/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf/
  fi

by

  if [ ! -L /usr/lib/texmf/web2c ]
  then
    if [ -d /usr/lib/texmf/web2c ]
    then
      cp -a /usr/lib/texmf/web2c/* /var/lib/texmf/web2c || true
      rm -fr /usr/lib/texmf/web2c
    fi
  fi
  ln -sf /var/lib/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf/

to ensure that /usr/share/texmf/web2c exists.

Hey, this is right, /usr/bin/latex is not provided. Two lines have to be
added in debian/rules.

Looks like a bug in sh.  I suggest to ask to submitter what is this
shell.  I will be away for a couple of days and so can not work on these
bugs anymore.
