That looks like the cleaner location, but it doesn't explain the
failure. I just installed texlive-omega in a clean chroot and removed it
again using dpkg, IOW keeping all other texlive packages. Still, there
is no problem building formats, because of:

grep -A3 omega $(kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf)
### /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-omega.cnf not included because either it wasn't
### up-to-date (conffile update pending) or the package shipping it was
### apparently removed (no corresponding .list file in
### /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/).

Since the submitter has meanwhile installed texlive-omega, I find it
hard to think of a way to find the cause of the bug.

O, wait:

sub, can you please try the following:

dpkg --remove texlive-omega
dpkg-reconfigure texlive-base

If that fails again, send the file from /tmp, plus the output of

ls /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/
grep omega /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/*
