I did the dpkg -i --force-confmiss with texlive-base-bin_2007-9 and 
texlive-base_2007-7. However the problem was not solved. I had a look
into the fmtutil log and found jadetex making problems. Hence I
decided to purge. After that texlive-base-bin and texlive-base could
be installed with --force-confmiss and all other TeX-Live packages
configured fine. JadeTeX however still was not installable, hence the
bug.

I did now an

dpkg -i --force-confmiss
/var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-latex-base_2007-7_all.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-latex-extra_2007-3_all.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-pictures_2007-7_all.deb

The color.cfg file does exist now and jadetex installs fine. The
re-created files:

/etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/color.cfg /etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg
/etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/hyperref.cfg

Sorry for filing the bug against the wrong package! And yes: I purged
tetex-base,bin,extra recently.
