Currently texlive correctly obsoletes all the old tetex* stuff. I
thought it is a good idea to not to provide the old tetex bits any more
because we have virtual provides for them like tex(latex) or tex(dvips) for
a long time. So it is better to fix the requires on the packages side
requiring TeX. Note that this will work even with the current old
texlive-2007 present in Fedoras. Thanks for the list of packages that
needs to be fixed.

evince-dvi will need rebuild for the libkpathsea soname bump as soon
as new texlive lands in Fedora.
