Thanks for testing ...

Ok, I will
- conflict with dviutils as it contains only dviconcat and dviselect,
  but not dvitodvi nor dvibook, which are included in the seetex
  distribution
- but I will blacklist dvi2tty and instead depend/suggest dvi2tty
  Debian package.

Thanks for spotting this, it is hard to check all packages in Debian ;-)

This is a bug in tetex which has already been fixed in 3.0-12, do you
have this version or higher installed? The problem was that the magic
header was *not* included in the 00tetex.cnf file, so it was included in
the final language.dat, *which should not happen*!

Better would be to remove 00tetex.cnf, or add the magic header
