I would say to put this in a script in /usr/sbin/tetex-configure-paper and run
it at configure time. Then the sysadmin can rerun it whenever /etc/papersize
changes.

Or I suppose you could just leave it in the configure script and document that
the sysadmin should run dpkg-reconfigure whenever the paper size changes.
