I have prepared an NMU which fixes this problem and some minor problems.
The changelog entry:
 prosper (1.00.4+cvs.2004.03.29-2.1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * NMU
   * add alternative TeX live dependencies (Closes: #349670, #392335,
   * #394167)
   * update policy to 3.7.2, no changes necessary
   * move dpatch and debhelper to Build-Depends
   * add a call to dh_installtex which creates the necessary mktexlsr calls 
     automatically (was missing in the postinst script), remove the postinst
     script, it will be generated by dh_installtex, add the necessary
     dependencies for tex-common
   * remove the versioned dependency on tetex as we also depend on tex-common,
     which excludes tetex2.

The source and binary package is avaiable at
	deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ check/
	deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ check/
and the source and Release file is signed with my debian key.

Please could you inform us whether it is ok to upload this NMU, whether
you plan to do an upload by yourself? It would be nice to get this into
etch so that etch people can use prosper with TeX live.

Best wishes

Norbert
