This bug was filed a while ago. bibtex wasn't probably fixed in the
meantime, however using alternative for bibtex was implemented in the
Debian packages (AFAICT).

For now I reassign that bug to texlive-binaries, can we close it?

Thanks,

New programs included: (...) the BibTeXU program for Unicode-enabled
BibTeX;

-> tagging fixed upstream
