I don't know. I haven't heard of this problem before, and the package
seems to be all right (it's at about 1MB bigger than the version in
potato - as most times with new versions...):
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2-2
...
installed-size: 28490
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0-10
...
installed-size: 27546

And it's the same there: I can't see the difference. The only package that
seems to be smaller is tetex-nonfree - because of files that moved to
tetex-extra.
Does anyone else have an explanation?
