The xdvi program fails to honor my XAPPLRESDIR envvar. This is because
the wrapper script /usr/bin/xdvi co-opts it for its own use. I want my
XAPPLRESDIR to work. XAPPLRESDIR is for user customizations, and
applications should not be setting it themselves.
Looking at the script, I see that it claims that clobbering XAPPLRESDIR
provides X11R3 compatibility. A laudable goal, except that it also
breaks R4, R5, and R6. The teTeX author has a choice to make whether it
is more important to support R3 or newer X11 releases. However, Debian
includes X11R6, so Debian xdvi should support R6. The included patch
fixes this compatibility.
As long as we are fixing the X environment variables, my patch also
adds %D to the case where XFILESEARCHPATH is unset. This probably
doesn't matter (probably only xdvi will be run in the environment being
created), but it is technically correct. %D substitutes the
implementation's default value and is an R6 feature.

Changes:
tetex-bin (2.0.2-13) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* xdvi now does no longer overwrite the XAPPLRESDIR variable, thanks to
Stephen Gildea <gildea@stop.mail-abuse.org> (closes: #215588) [frank]
* 2.0.2-11 failed to properly purge ucf's memory of texmf.cnf. This is
now done in preinst if the file doesn't exist, but is registered to
ucf (closes: #243672) [frank]
* tetex-bin now declares "Replaces:" and "Provides: texdoctk". Together
with a corresponding move of files from tetex-extra to tetex-base,
this (closes: #200264) [frank]
* epstopdf can now handle output files with spaces in the filenames
(closes: #183517), and it's manpage correctly describes the --filter
and --outfile options (closes: #191254), thanks to Johannes Martin
<jmartin@notamusica.com>, ernst.kloppenburg@de.bosch.com and Hilmar
Preusse <hille42@web.de> [frank]
* Removed "Conflicts" for dvipdfm: This package is in part replaced by
tetex-base, and the conflict caused tetex-bin to be removed upon
dist-upgrade (closes: #200261) [frank]
* texdoctk now gives a clear error message when the perl-tk package is
missing, and tetex-bin now only Recommends perl-tk. Thanks again to
Hilmar. (closes: #173872) [frank]
