I can't speak for any general conventions. But we had quite a lot of bug reports against tetex-base because of this: #344212 #351649 #352486 #354444. Unfortunately, the main discussions were not in the bug reports, but in private mail with Andreas Tille. Therefore I can't check, and some of them might actually be "real" bugs; but most of them were after I extensively tested upgrading from sarge, and happened for people who had tetex-extra (or even -base) in purged state since woody. I ended up catering for all of these; but it wasn't hard in this case (just add a couple of "filename md5sum" pairs to a list, the former conffiles are removed when unchanged and moved to a new place when changed).
