No, because the update of the conffile is done at the configure state.

At this time the package texlive-latex-base is NOT configured, so there
is still the 10texlive-latex-base.cnf.dpkg-new file, but the postinst
script of texlive-base-bin calls fmtutil-sys --all and this wants to
create the jadetex format.

No. Sorry. Don't mix texlive-latex-base with texlive-base-bin and the
order of configuration.

Technical term for one of the lame excuses written in very small print
on the side of packets of food or washing powder to explain why
there's hardly anything inside. Examples include 'Contents may have
settled in transit' and 'To keep each biscuit fresh they have been
individually wrapped in silver paper and cellophane and separated with
corrugated lining, a cardboard flap, and heavy industrial tyres'.
