if I may bail in on this one ... IMHO these texts are rather
long-winded and hard to understand (and grammatically rough -
they should be checked by a native speaker). I'd go for a simpler
and shorter text (however please note that I'm not a native
speaker either!), along the lines of:

_Description: Use update-texmf to automatically generate texmf.cnf?
 The file texmf.cnf is the central configuration file of teTeX.

 Automatic generation is recommended to make the setup work
 with other TeX related packages. To customize your teTeX
 setup, you should not edit texmf.cnf directly, but instead
 modify the files in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/ .

 Don't accept this if you do not want to overwrite the existing
 texmf.cnf file.
