There is still another problem here: tex-common does not care for
MT_FEATURES as it is in a different package (tetex-base,
texlive-whatever). So those packages would have to change their setting
depending on debconf questions in tex-common.
Whatabout changing VARTEXFONTS or whatever to /tmp/texfonts? /tmp should
be always writable for everyone. Only problem is what happens if /tmp is
cleaned ...

GLENTAGGART (n.)
A particular kind of tartan hold-all, made exclusive under licence for
British Airways. When waiting to collect your luggage from an airport
conveyor belt, you will notice that on the next conveyor belt a
solitary bag is going round and round uncollected. This is a
glentaggart, which has been placed there by the baggage-handling staff
to take your mind off the fact that your own luggage will shortly be
landing in Murmansk.
