But if we don't have a separate package, then dvidvi is not
coinstallable with tetex. Surely we want to avoid that. What we could
do to avoid too tiny packages would be integrate dvidvi into the
dviutils package or something like that (and then have that package
Provide: dvidvi). But not something that depends on texlive to the
exclusion of tetex.

Which makes me realise that dvidvi depends on tetex to the exclusion
of texlive... Pfff... I don't even know why it depends on tetex-bin,
to be honest.
