No.
Just to see what is going to happen I've just purged again my tetex-*
packages. /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf disappeared and in /etc/texmf/texmf.d
there is only one file - 96JadeTeX.cnf with the following contents:
TEXINPUTS.jadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,plain,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.pdfjadetex = .;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/{jadetex,plain,generic,}//

extra_mem_bot.pdfjadetex = 85000
After "apt-get install tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra" latex points
again to etex and is stumied as before. Here is the log of the install:
# apt-get install tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra
