On my system (which is also tetex-bin_2.0.2-4.3 along with
tetex-base_2.0.2-4.2) it does: I get a table of contents with entries
down to "1.1.1 a", the level of subsection. Since chapter has level 0,
this is what I expected; there's no "1.1.1.1 aa"

So in case you just missed that chapter has level 0, not 1, please close
the bug by sending mail to 216882-done@bugs.debian.org. If you really
get a different table of contents, please provide the following
information:

- Run the following file through latex

*******************
\listfiles
\documentclass[a4paper]{book}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents

  \subsection{a}
  \subsubsection{aa}
\end{document}
*******************

   and send us the complete log file

- please send us the output of the command

dpkg -l "tetex*"

Thank you,
Frank
