This bug should be fixed in two steps:

This can and should be done at once, and only needs a dependency on
tex-common.

This will have the effect that the package does no longer work together
with tetex-2.0.2 which is still in testing, and requires the dependency
on tetex-* to be versioned accordingly. Therefore this part should not
be done until tetex-3.0 is in testing - there is a backward
compatibitity hack that makes tetex-3.0 mostly working with such
packages, and will only be dropped after it has been in testing long
enough that everybody has had time to upload fixed packages.
texlive does not have such a hack, therefore you can depend on
"..|texlive-*" only after the second part.
