You didn't change anything, it's a bogus question. But dpkg really
should have asked it, and it seems it didn't on Vincent's system, and
that is the strange thing.

That's okay - the &latex needs to be escaped if you run it from an
interactive shell; in the postinst script it is also escaped, but the
quotes aren't displayed, naturally.
