(Get the code!)
The current version (2.20.1-0ubuntu1 in Gutsy) still does not suggest tetex-bin, and when trying to open a DVI file without it installed, shows the same "Unable to open document: DVI document has incorrect format" error message. This is an incorrect error message, as there's nothing wrong with the DVI; the problem is that the user's system doesn't have DVI support. Given only this message, the user has no way of knowing that they need to install another package in order to view DVI files. (This bit the original reporter of this bug.)
