Thanks for the report.  It looks like some strange mixup has happened.
In my original packaging, it correctly says:

    10:13:28 jan AT esac-pc:~/g/tar/tetex
    $ cat texmf/setup.hint
    sdesc: "This is texmf-20020530-3, an upgrade helper for tetex."
    category: Text
    requires: tetex
    #external-source: tetex-beta-texmf
    external-source: tetex-beta
    ldesc: "This is texmf-20020530-3, an upgrade helper for tetex.
    It has a dependency on tetex, to ensure a smoothly
    ugrade to the new tetex packaging scheme.
    Once tetex-20020530-3 or later has been successfully installed,
    this package may be removed."

Why do you feel that way?  The upgrade helper packages were also
created, and thus have a source package (but a bit smaller than 39MB
:-)

Chris mentioned that there was a problem with external-source of (one,
some?) the tetex packages, but now I see that some the setup.hints
were changed.  I can't tell this was before or after that
external-source problem.  I suspect that it has to do with the old
tetex-beta and texmf packages sharing the same hint files, and some
conflict with that.
