Yes, I put the stderr redirection too early on the command
line. However, you seem to have used a different order, too, because
your log says at the beginning:

,----
| I found a debug option that was not the first argument to the dvips
| command.  Some debugging output may have been lost because of this.
| kdebug:fopen(/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config/psfonts.map, r) => 0x8125a30
`----

Consequently it is much shorter than mine. Could you please repeat it
with

dvips -d 70 -o tetest.ps tetest.dvi > dvips.log 2>&1

and send me the file?

I only tetest.log again, the latex log file. If the apt-get command
didn't give anything unusual, it's probably more interesting to see the
output of

apt-cache policy tetex-bin tetex-basea libkpathsea3

especially since Knoppix packages might be involved. 

Thank you so far,
Frank

P.S. Would you be so kind and keep the bug address in the Cc:?
