Alright, this is in part a bug of the Debian package, in part a bug of
texexec. texexec is run as root and *SHOULD* be able to create the
directory /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex. But probably it is a bug *only*
because we already have the link pdftex -> pdfetex but NO pdfetex
directory.

Next version of the debian package will fix this. In the meantime please
simply create the dir as root
	mkdir /var/lib/texmf/pdfetex
and call again as root
	dpkg-reconfigure context

Best wishes

Norbert
