Nope Sorry, I was completely wrong! 01tetex.cnf was introduced in
teTeX 3.0. That 01tetex.cnf visible here is equivalent to the old
00tetex.cnf from teTeX 2.0. It has the same size the 00tetex.cnf
should have and a very old timestamp.
In preinst we move the old 00tetex.cnf to 01tetex.cnf. At any time
dpkg comes along and finds out, that 01tetex.cnf has been changed (as
it differs from that one in the package). If the user now refuses to
replace the local version by that one from the maint (which is the
default) fmtutil now starts creating formats with the old
configuration. ---> *bamm*
If you never touched 00tetex.cnf simply overwriting 01tetex.cnf by
01tetex.cnf.dpkg-dist should fix the problem.
That renaming is probably a bad idea. I'll open another bug for that.
