If you feel it really necessary to reopen this then,
of course, you can do so. (I don't know policy so precisely
too.)

This had been forwarded to the upstream and fixed in the
upstream. And perhaps only security bug fixed package
could be installed in stable.
I only think tetex bugs are too many for us to find really
important ones at once so I want to close (practically?)
fixed bugs -- or very near the "not having time to bother
about minor bugs"
Thanks for your interest in tetex.
