It should at least be installed when you install tetex-doc since a lot
of the documentation is in dvi.

I can understand it not being installed with tetex - if your tetex box
is headless, xdvi would pull in X11 dependencies, dvips is all you need
to print a dvi.

But it should be a dependency of tetex-doc imho.
