Hi Norbert and Frank,

the file 85Misc.cnf from the tex-common package contains this entry:

TEXMFCNF = $TETEXDIR;/usr/share/texmf/web2c;/usr/share/texmf/web2c

first, there is a seemingly unneeded duplication of
/usr/share/texmf/web2c

seconf, i suggest to add $TEXMFCONFIG/web2c (i.e. effectively
$HOME/.texmf-config/web2c) at the beginning of the list, to allow user
to override some defaults in his $HOME/.texmf-config/web2c/texmf.cnf:

TEXMFCNF = $TEXMFCONFIG/web2c;$TETEXDIR;/usr/share/texmf/web2c

would you please consider this change?

Best,
v.
