Why should it? I think most people would be rather annoyed by that.
Moreover there might be also other packages that install files in
/etc/texmf, but do not depend on tetex-base or tex-common (e.g. because
they only Recommend or Suggest it).
You should never remove any files or directories in the realm of dpkg
unless you know what you are doing. And "knowing" also involves
bringing yourself up-to-date, or running
dlocate $directory_I_plan_to_remove
