I know. I think you are doing the same as the Exim team with exim.conf.

But I don't see why the files in /etc/texmf/texmf.d have to be managed
with ucf. They can be normal conffile, shipped with the package. Yes,
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf is different. It must be managed with ucf or moved
out of /etc, like the Exim people do.

Bye, Jörg.
