No, it's not there. The directory /var/lib/texmf/web2c/xetex/ doesn't even
exist. The contents of /var/lib/texmf/web2c are listed below:

No output at all.

Lots of output, all on one line. For reading convencience, I've added
newlines after each colon character:

Four lines of output:
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf:TEXINPUTS.xetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{xetex,plain,generic,}//
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf:% xetex/xdvipdfmx (note that fontconfig on Linux/Unix-like systems
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf:TEXINPUTS.xetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{xetex,plain,generic,}//
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf:% xetex/xdvipdfmx (note that fontconfig on Linux/Unix-like systems
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need additional information!
