Your package is Architecture: any, not Architecture: all. This amounts
to telling the buildds to build it. Note that you're producing
*_i386.deb files at the moment, not *_all.deb.

Imagine what would happen if every package required manual
customizations in order to build ... our current build systems only
scale because, except for a very few special cases like glibc and gcc,
packages are required to build without manual intervention.
debian-reference needs to use a local texmf.cnf so that it can be built
automatically. If this isn't possible, I think tetex would have to be
changed so that it is.
