I looked at both changelogs and couldn't see why it would. Do you have
anything specific in mind?

It seems the submitter is exercising some control over what to upgrade
and what not to upgrade, which could explain why tex-common wasn't
upgraded. BTW, I don't understand why both 1.0.1 and 1.7 are listed for
testing at:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=tex-common&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all

Any idea?
