Ooops, sorry for the noise, and thanks for the response anyway.

Well, that is easily possible for individual users. I don't know why
teTeX-3.0 contains a version that was already outdated even when it was
released in 2005.
We, the Debian teTeX team, do not usually upgrade individual parts of
the teTeX collection, but instead rely on our upstream (Thomas Esser)
for updating the TEXMF tree. Since no new teTeX version is scheduled
soon, would you recommend that we update the ams classes - are there
fixes to more severe bugs than this one that would warrant the extra
effort?
Many thanks in advance,
Frank
