How about:
Description: Remove old conffiles?
Old conffiles from a previous version of tetex-base were found.
Most of these were map files for dvips and now removed from the
upstream source.
.
If you think you have modified such files, then you may refuse this
option and preserve them. You can find the list of such conffiles
in /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.config but, for almost 99% of you,
it is strongly recommended to remove these files right now!
