No, I don't think so. I think the reason for dhit_check_run_without_errors is although all declared dependency relations are fulfilled, we got problems during the upgrade of libkpathsea. I'm not sure why this couldn't be solved by adding a "Depends: libkpathsea4" to tex-common - but that's how we did it. We need to look that up in the archives. Anyway, if texlive-$foo depends on tex-common, then it may assume that tex-common in its postinst unless it's purged: ,---- Policy 7.2 | The Depends field should also be used if the postinst, prerm or postrm | scripts require the package to be present in order to run.

Hmm, I guess I miss something here. See my other mail to the bug.
