Some suggestions on how to do this:
1) md5sum. Problematic if there were a bunch of different broken
prerm's. Great if there was only one.
2) grep for the mistaken rm -Rf. Probably the best solution.
3) You might be able to use dpkg -s --- I'm not sure. If so, you
can use dpkg to compare the version. Problematic if you aren't
careful and people built local versions of tetex-base.
4) Break all versions, trust that the new prerm can handle it.
Probably a bad idea; may lead to future problems.
You may want to do something like (2) and sed out the bad line. Then let
the (new) tetex-base preinst do the cleaup the right way.
