The other part is that fmtutil seems to act this way:
a) create a temporary directory
b) create all formats in this directory
c) move the formats to /var/lib/texmf/web2c
If in b) there is a latex.fmt not only in the temporary directory, but
also in /var/lib/texmf/web2c, it seems to take that one. I still need
to verify this.
