It's legal that the package installation fails? Why you don't refuse to
install, e.g. the preinstall script should check and fail or bring a
warning and the postinst should not run the hazardous parts and the admin
must do it by hand (i.e. call dpkg-reconfigure tex-common or update-XY).

Regards, Jörg.
