But Lamont (is it your first name?) did not say that the installation of
tetex-base failed. He just complained about the error message. Which is
OK, but presumably not RC. Look at this (under /bin/sh = dash):

%# a=`foobar3 bla bla` || true
sh: foobar3: not found
%# echo $?
0
%# a=`foobar3 bla bla 2>/dev/null` || true
%# echo $?
0
%#

(where foobar3 is something-not-in-my-PATH)

So, the maintainer script will not fail even if the error message is
printed (if we are all talking about the same thing). Therefore, I would
agree with Frank that the bug is not serious.
