This is clear. Your LaTeX-input files for building the formats are
too old. Do you have installed tetex-2.0.2? Or is this a bug report
for !sarge?

I guess, you have hanging arounds some very old LaTeX sources in your
texmf-tree. Even woody has "LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>", so this is either
a potato installation or that stuff sits in your local texmf-tree.

Find out, where the old stuff comes from and delete it, if it is
sitiing outside of the package management.

Even tetex-2.x has LaTeX <2001/06/01> and I guess, that won't change
before sarge. We (debian-tetex-maint) should consider putting a new
LaTeX-release into sarge.
