It's still the user's responsibility to check for problems with changed
conffiles before reporting a bug. 

But you are right, Hilmar, a package should care for this, and tetex
*does*.  We have extra code in the postinst to force /var/lib/texmf into
TEXMF.  Strange that it didn't work for Robert.

Robert, can you send us your /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf, ideally the versions before you fixed
it? 

Regards, Frank
