This report was rather old (Tue, 19 Mar 2002) and
it reads;

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-5

so it is xdvi from tetex 1.0.7  I'm not so sure but
my woody system showed me

kohda@acty:~$ xdvi -version
xdvi(k) version 22.40f

So the situation should be as you explained.

Now we can close the bug (or at least set tag as woody)?
