The real problem is that (according to the submitter) the old
pdftexconfig.tex is taking priority over the current version:

burnside:~ $ locate pdftexconfig.tex
/etc/texmf/tex/generic/pdftexconfig.tex
/etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
/usr/share/texlive-bin/pdftexconfig.tex

burnside:~ $ kpsewhich pdftexconfig.tex
/etc/texmf/tex/generic/pdftexconfig.tex

burnside:~ $ dpkg -S pdftexconfig.tex
texlive-base-bin: /usr/share/texlive-bin/pdftexconfig.tex
texlive-base-bin: /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex

I do however have another situation, the problematic file
(/etc/texmf/tex/generic/pdftexconfig.tex) is missing.

I misunderstood the report, it must be kept open. I'm sorry!
