OK, so please let me know what version has the file removed.  

It was earlier suggested that the control file for dvipdfm read like: 

Depends: tetex-base (>=???)
Replaces: tetex-base (<<???)

But this won't install on systems with the older tetex-base, right?
Is there any way to have dvipdfm install against *all* versions of
tetex-base without a diversion?  If not, how can one configure the
preinst and postrm scripts to use the diversion only when appropriate
tetex-base versions are installed?

Take care,
