The problem is that with xdvi in the package, X indirectly build-depends on itself. It would also means that many non-X packages that use tetex-bin for building documentation have to install xlibs-dev, even if they don't need them. If xdvi was in a seperate package, this wouldn't be needed and would make buildong of these packages faster on autobuilders that don't have xlibs-dev installed in the chroot (most of them are this way, to my knowledge).
