Sorry for that. You wrote:

If this was a bug, and not a hardware error, it must be in a different
package, because we do not include a format for pdfxmltex. 

As for the suggestions to change the wording of NEWS.Debian, I have
followed your proposal, and applied the following patch. I think I can
close the bug with the next upload.

   Hyphenation patterns
   ===================================
 
-    Since we introduced debconf management of hyphenation patterns during
-    the development of the 2.0.2 packages, this mechanism has been the
-    default. Meanwhile, however, upstream has switched to enable (nearly)
-    all hyphenation patterns by default. We have adopted this policy, and
-    since 2.0.2-17 this catch-all language.dat is used by default.

     If you have previously used debconf management for language.dat, you
-    can continue doing so. If you want to get back to the new default, the
-    best way is to copy /usr/share/tetex-base/language.dflt to
-    /etc/texmf/language.dat, "dpkg-reconfigure tetex-bin" and chose not to
-    manage this file by debconf.
