Probably not, although it's not a file we ship (or that's in our
CVS).

Your /etc/texmf/language.dat file doesn't match mine. In fact, I
don't think *any* of your language.dat files match the ones I have
on my system.
My /etc/texmf/language.dat, which is the same as
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat (on my system,
the latter is a symlink to the former) has a line for French that
doesn't include the frhyphex reference. The only ``*language*''
file I can find on my system that *does* reference frhyphex.tex is
the language.dat for platex, which is in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/language.dat on my system.
Are you sure that passivetex (I'm not familiar with this package)
isn't overwriting configuration files in tetex-base? Could you
have copied the platex language.dat file over
/etc/texmf/language.dat at some point?
Do you have a /etc/texmf/language.dat.dpkg-dist file that doesn't
contain the frhyphex.tex reference?
