aptitude search '~o'
will show you all packages that were in squeeze, but are removed from
Debian repository in wheezy. Everything in that list can be removed

Maybe. I'm not that familiar with LaTeX.
Still, if file belongs to the package, and directory in which the file
resides is not, that's probably ok.
