It seems aptitude's idea of reinstalling is not my idea of it: it does
*not* re-unpack it, "only" reconfigures it. So I manually ran:

$ sudo dpkg --install tex-common_2.07_all.deb texlive-binaries_2009-5_amd64.deb texlive-base_2009-8_all.deb

And now tex-common and texlive-binaries succeeded to configure and
we're back to the starting situation: texlive-base fails to configure
and its configuration attempt "unconfigures" tex-common.
