Package: tex-common
Version: 2.08
Severity: wishlist

In the file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf it is possible to change the values of
TEXMFMAIN, TEXMFDIST, TEXMFSYSVAR .  However these settings are ignored in
the postinst scripts of tex-common (and maybe other packages), simply the
default values are assumed.  The scripts should source
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf (if it exists) and assume the default values only the
the necessary variables are empty after sourcing the file.

We don't support remapping TEXMF{DIST,MAIN}, if the sysadmin wants to
do this, let him do but he is on his own.

Closing this bug.
