This should be 

/usr/share/texmf/tex/lambda/base/lambda.tex

On my system, the command

kpsewhich -progname=lamed -show-path tex

gives the following output (manual linewrapping):

.:!!/home/frank/.texmf-config/tex/lamed//:!!/home/frank/.texmf-var/tex/lamed//:
/home/frank/texmf/tex/lamed//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/lamed//:

!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex///:!!/var/lib/texmf/tex///:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex///:
./bilder

This looks confusing; but if you look closely that the sequence is
always "/home/frank/.texmf-config, /home/frank/.texmf-var,
/home/frank/texmf, /usr/local/share/texmf/, /var/lib/texmf,
/usr/share/texmf" at the beginning (this is the boring part), whereas
the end is the same in each of three lines:  The first three have
tex/lamed, then come three with tex/lambda, then tex/latex, then
tex/generic and finally tex/.

This means that if there are two files with the same name, the one in
tex/lambda should be found before the other one in tex/generic, which
means that even if I install tex-skak, tex/lambda/base/lambda.tex will
still be used.

Can you please send us the output of

kpsewhich -progname=lamed -show-path tex
ls -l /usr/share/texmf/tex/lambda/base/lambda.tex
dpkg -S lambda.tex
grep lamed /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
grep lamed /etc/texmf/texmf.d/*
