I've built current on an amd64 and have trouble with dvips from tetex.  
I use lettersize, but dvips puts a bogus a4size definition in that 
breaks gs. This seems to be an old bug:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-tetex-maint/2002/debian-tetex-maint-200205/msg00067.html

Somehow the old bug seems more important for the amd64.

Applying the patch fixed the problem for me.
