Bug#329658: tetex-extra depends on ptex-bin for installation but not specified in package requirement

[Magnus Sundberg <Magnus.Sundberg@dican.se>]

Dear sir,
I run the stable distribution.
When I try to install tetex-extra, the system fails with

===Snip of error Message===
mktexlsr: Done.
Running initex for missing formats. This may take some time. ...
/usr/bin/fmtutil: line 253: ptex: command not found
Error: `ptex -ini  -jobname=platex -progname=platex platex.ini' 
failed
===End Snip of error message===
==(This is not the actual error message its a copy from bug 
#232990 ==

After tracing down the error, I find that it is the ptex program 
that is missing.
I therefore beleive that tetex-extra should be declared as 
depending of ptex-bin, since it fails to install if ptex-bin is 
not installed.
