I should have made that point clearer: If you are going to create
per-user dumps, you should not rely on /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
being the right place to get the information. In teTeX 3.0, there's a
mechanism for users to create their own fmtutil.cnf and formats, and you
should really use that; it can be found with the above kpsewhich command.
