Then I have some questions.

Is this kind of notation 

mv debian/tmp/{usr/share/texmf/xdvi,etc/X11/app-defaults}/XDvi

worked with any /bin/sh (that is, if it is not bash)?

Further,

ln -s /etc/X11/app-defaults/XDvi debian/tmp/usr/share/texmf/xdvi

this kind of symlink seemed to cause lintian error and it should 
be as the old rules;

(cd debian/tmp/usr/share/texmf/xdvi; ln -s /etc/X11/app-defaults/XDvi .)

these "ln -s" lines also caused lintian errors and in the first
"ln -s" line, "debian/tetex-extra" would be typo of "debian/tetex-doc"

And for confirmation; with this rules pdftex/pdflatex componets
would be installed in tetex-base, I guess.  Is this right?

# I am now testing this rules with the latest teTeX beta.
