Because it slipped in without me wanting or knowing it. I had thought
about that change, see 

http://lists.debian.org/debian-tetex-maint/2004/08/msg00347.html

but then decided not to do it for sarge. Somehow parts of the change did
slip in, however, an I fear now I can do it as well: We will need a
Conflicts: of tetex-bin with the buggy versions of tetex-base anyway,
therefore the only advantage of not doing it is gone: Namely to

It's not a dpkg bug, it's a maintainer bug. I do

# ship /var/cache/fonts in the tetex-base package, with proper permissions
	mkdir --mode=1777 debian/$(package)/var/cache/fonts/pk
	mkdir --mode=1777 debian/$(package)/var/cache/fonts/tfm
	mkdir --mode=1777 debian/$(package)/var/cache/fonts/source
[...]

dh_fixperms -i
