Ah, thank you.  The tetex packages still declare "Replaces: latex",
something we should have dropped long ago, but this now history
(i.e. fixed in sid, now that tetex-* are empty transitional packages).
Asymptote is also fixed in sid.

We don't need this bug to make sure that TeX Live 2007 will make it into
lenny, but just to be sure I'll reassign this bug to asymptote after
it's done.

Regards, Frank
