On the other hand, I believe that's the way tetex is packaged:

$ fink list tetex
tetex           3.0-1006  Complete distribution of the TeX typesetting  
system
tetex-base      3.0-1006  Base programs for a teTeX installation
tetex-nox       3.0-1006  Complete distribution of the TeX typesetting  
system
tetex-nox-base  3.0-1006  Base programs for a teTeX installation
tetex-texmf     3.0-2     Main texmf tree for a teTeX installation

with tetex conflicting with/replacing tetex-base and tetex-nox  
conflicting with/replacing tetex-nox-base.

I'm not sure that's an actual policy for this or if one is really  
necessary. For what it's worth, my personal choice is David's original  
suggestion.
