I also found this confusing.

Maybe SYSTEXMF should be renamed to TEXMFSYSFONTS?

Hm, which version of teTeX in Debian do you mean? In 2.0.2, indeed
TEXMFVAR is /var/lib/texmf, and SYSTEXMF includes it. My published
experimental packages up to 2.99.9 do the same, too; but there is no
TEXMFSYSVAR yet in these versions. For the 3.0 packages, neither
TEXMFVAR nor TEXMFSYSVAR will be in TEXMFSYS.

TEXMF?
