It is available now.

And it already declares:
Replaces: tetex-base (<= 3.0-7)
and in fact dpkg says:
Unpacking replacement tex-common ...
Replacing files in old package tetex-base ...
Setting up tex-common (0.7) ...
Therefore, I cannot reproduce the problem. The question is: Have you
been using some intermediate versions, or is there something else that
depends on the order of installation?
