I've built a package with that change. Tony, would you please test
whether this helps? I'm not even sure whether it's sufficient to
change libkpathsea4, or you also need tetex-bin. And of course during
the upgrade, some old executables will also be used in the maintainer
scripts, so you can't expect it to be completely quiet.
The packages are at
http://people.debian.org/~frank/libkpathsea4_3.0-22~1_i386.deb
http://people.debian.org/~frank/tetex-bin_3.0-22~1_i386.deb
Regards, Frank
