In texlive-common.postinst, there are codes as follows:

# rename old stuff from tetex:
for i in updmap.d/10tetex-base.cfg fmt.d/01tetex.cnf language.d/00tetex.cnf language.d/10tetex.cnf ; do
        if [ -r /etc/texmf/$i ] ; then
                mv /etc/texmf/$i /etc/texmf/$i.obsolete
                echo "Obsolete config file /etc/texmf/$i has been renamed" >&2
                echo "as /etc/texmf/$i.obsolete." >&2
        fi
done

so it looks very strange to me that there is 00tetex.cnf under
language.d/ even after upgrading.  If it was already fixed please
let us know but if not I'd like to know;

does "dpkg -l texlive-common" show
ii  texlive-common 2007-11        TeX Live: Base component

what happend if you run 
"sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-common.postinst configure"

is your shell (/bin/sh) a symlink of bash?
