Me again,

3 patches attached. makempx.in.diff should be added to patch-tmp. I
didn't test yet, if the package builds.

NEWS.Debian:

If you use plain TeX (which is not yet e-TeX) with the option
--parse-first-line and call there other formats than plain TeX make
sure you've create the appropriate format files using Knuth TeX.
I.e.:
$format		tex	pattern-file		arguments
e.g. for LaTeX this reads:
latex		tex	language.dat		latex.ini
in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf. This is not necessary for a normal
LaTeX call but for that special case.

we could put this entry already in fmtutil.cnf. That would make the
makempx.in.diff surplus and we can call Knuth TeX in case of
--parse-first-line . Same for pdfLaTeX.
