First off, I'm not subscribed to debian-tetex-maint, so if you could
Cc: me, that would be great. [And apologies to Raphael if he is.]

The problem originates in tetex-base, but shouldn't this change cause
tetex-eurosym to go away also?

I don't really have an opinion on this because I haven't followed
tetex packaging in debian closely, but either the Conflicts: has to be
removed or tetex-eurosym needs to go away, because it can't be
installed with the Conflicts: set like they are now.
