My last mail on the issue (<87smi04dub.fsf@florent.maison> since you
have the whole -tetex-maint archive on your hard disk ;-) was in favour
of letting the B-D for sarge and remove it later, the rationale being
that it enhances tetex-bin's "portability".
However, this view is controversial: some people prefer having strict
Build-Depends in order to enhance the package's reproducibility
(however, I don't think they B-D on exact versions of every package, so
this argument clearly has its limits).
