I don't know ... the problem is that it is the first time we see this,
and I'd like to avoid that "blue" works for us, we put it in and then
it doesn't work on a lot of other systems. 

My system has:

galadriel:Leisch$ dpkg -l tetex*
ii  tetex-base     2.0.2-4.1      basic teTeX library files
ii  tetex-bin      2.0.2-4.2      teTeX binary files
ii  tetex-doc      2.0.2-4.1      teTeX documentation
ii  tetex-extra    2.0.2-4.1      extra teTeX library files
