I believe this is our (tetex-mantainers') duty. Dynamic TeX package registration is nice, but not through the main texmf.cnf if people feel that's intended for the admin and the admin only. Why not put the dynamic things in a file like texmf-debian.cnf, and tell the admin that if he wants to use newly installed packages automatically, he should include texmf-debian.cnf from the main texmf.cnf (if including is possible at all -- no idea) or make his texmf.cnf a symlink to the texmf-debian.cnf? I.e. have a fully managed file, but leave it to the admin whether or not his real file points to the managed file, or includes it (if possible), or ignores it altogether.
