I must apologize - back in June when you reported the bug, I had already
found the cause, we just didn't come to any conclusion what to do.

The fact is that we won't have a chance to fix this in sarge (as
usually), and since it's fixed in sid it's only a question of time until
the fix gets into testing.  It'll take a little more than the usual 10
days, though.

If you like, you can try the teTeX-3.0 backports for sarge described at
http://people.debian.org/~frank/teTeX-3.0/ 

or stick to the original workaround.

Regards, Frank
