I was briefly confused as to why I (and other Ubuntu users) have never had a problem with setuptex... then I remembered that while sh links to dash (because it's fast), bash is still used explicitly as the default *login* shell (because it's featureful). So ‘source setuptex’ has always worked for me but would presumably give trouble in a non-login shell. Don't know how Debian does it.
