Hi Norbert and Frank,

maybe it would be best to set the compile-time default (in debian) to

TEXMFCNF = '$HOME/.texmf-config/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/web2c'

because apparently the TEXMFCNF setting in texmf.cnf is ignored, as it
seems to appear.

then the user could override the texmf.cnf settings.

Best,
v.
