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

Please go around fixing them yourself.

Many were downgraded.
The problem is, it's not "we", who filed the bugs and did the
dirty work. It's me, and I'm saying it's wrong.
If I am not misunderstanding the issue, tetex-bin
in potato contained, texi2html ?
If that's not true, then I am wrong.
