The original idea of split off packages was to have more frequent release cycle for these. As dvidvi does not seem to be updated more frequently than TL itself (and if the Debian maintainer does not really care) it does not make sense to have it split off.

Conflicts: dvidvi
Provides: dvidvi

for next upload? I guess this is all, which needs to be done? The test build on ARM64 worked fine.
