If you answer "no" to the debconf question "Use automatic
generation of texmf.cnf with update-texmf?" then
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf will be symlinked to /var/lib/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
and will be read. Further, update-texmf would do nothing
because /var/lib/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf is a symlink but not
a normal file in this case, which would be a similar behavior
as you requested, IMHO.
Yes, this is completely unnecessary theoretically but this
could, practically, help some users in some cases to some
extents so I would provide it if no one claims it is a problem.

Yes, I didn't insist that it is the optimal. But as far as
I know, there is no scheme which can handle every TeX related
componets better than update-texmf. Anyway
