Ah, I wasn't aware of that.  Then xetex users (and the future xetex
Debian package) should have a file
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/41TeXinputsXeTeX.cnf with the content

% XeTeX
TEXINPUTS.xelatex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{xelatex,xetex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.xetex   = .;$TEXMF/tex/{xetex,plain,generic,}//

(assuming that there is also TEXMF/tex/xetex, otherwise the xetex
addition should be dropped).  We can as well drop the setting of xetex
paths right now, can't we?
