Then we should simply add a BIG FAT WARNING to the various texmf.d/ files that changing anything in the trees section is not supported. Actually this is a remaining thing from tetex times I happily would get rid off. There should be *ONE* texmf.cnf in /usr/sharee/texmf/web2c which defines everything for Debian, and people can add overriding entries in /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, single lines for TEXMFLOCAL or so. This is what we do in proper TeX Live, ther eis the one in texlive/2010/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf which is managed by the package manger and updated now and then, and people can use texlive/2010/texmf.cnf to make adjustments, like changing TEXMFLOCAL. That is something I would like to see for Debian, too ....
