Bug#87699: tetex-bin: Please don't. A "suggests" and possibly a warning on install is better

We don't have a time machine.

We can only compensate for past problems with some hack.

If including texi2html to tetex-bin in potato was a mistake,
a new package is required, or manual auditing of all programs
which "Build-Depends: tetex-bin" .

I hate to tell you this, but I have been doing that for you,
and I have been halfway through fixing it.
