Bug#247635: tetex-bin: xdvi wrapper should set XUSERFILESEARCHPATH not XFILESEARCHPATH

["Matt Swift" <swift@alum.mit.edu>]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  The only reason I may know more is that
I just spent a whole bunch of time learning it because I was obsessively
determined to figure out why my xdvi was no longer yellow as it once had
been and as I preferred.

I will not be able to test new things until after the weekend, but I will
try to do so soon after that.

best,
Matt

You seem to know more that most of us about this. We have changed xdvi's
behavior in this respect with 2.0.2-13 in unstable. 

Would you be so kind and check again with this version, and then report
whether the patch still is reasonable in this version.
