I don't think this is the correct solution.  We already have

conflicts;texlive-common;tetex-bin (<< 2007), tetex-base (<< 2007), tetex-extra (<< 2007), tetex-doc (<< 2007)

Furthermore, in all of Rene's reports there is something like

Versions of packages texlive-font-utils depends on:
ii  libc6                         2.5-1      GNU C Library: Shared libraries
pn  texlive-base                  <none>     (no description available)
pn  texlive-common                <none>     (no description available)

On a normal install, apt-get or aptitude will first install tl-common
before trying any of the packages Rene reported about, and this will
remove tetex-bin except for the empty transitional package.  By the way
I've tried this long ago...

So either something else is going wrong, or Rene used some --force-foo
