No it is not, websvn is your friend:

* add a patch by Ralf Stubner to mktexnam (accepted by TE and included
upstream) to create TEXMFVAR in mktexnam. First step to do another
/var/cache/fonts retry.
So I guess with -3 we are rid of this problem.
BTW, I am thinking about doing minor upgrades directly from the source
packages and give them version -2a -2b -2c etc and version -3 is for a
complete rebuild. Does this make sense?
Best wishes

LULWORTH (n.)
Measure of conversation. A lulworth defines the amount of the length,
loudness and embarrassment of a statement you make when everyone else
in the room unaccountably stops talking at the same time.
