What about:
texconfig formats is no longer supported, because manual edits of
-fmtutil.cnf will be overwritten by the new TeX Live package manager,
-tlmgr, which regenerates that file as needed upon package changes.
-Thus, to add or remove formats, the recommended method is to use tlmgr
-to add or remove the appropriate package.
-
-If you need to make manual additions, you can edit the file
-fmtutil-local.cnf under TEXMFLOCAL. Further information with
-tlmgr --help and at http://tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html.
+fmtutil.cnf will be overwritten by the Debian TeX management scripts,
+which regenerate that file as needed upon package changes.
+
+If you need to make manual additions, please see
+ /usr/share/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian*
+for further information.
and further down:
texconfig hyphen is no longer supported, because manual edits of
-language.dat (or language.def) will be overwritten by the new TeX Live
-package manager, tlmgr, which regenerates those configuration files as
-needed upon package changes. Thus, to add or remove hyphenation
-patterns, the recommended method is to use tlmgr to add or remove the
-appropriate package.
-
-If you need to make manual additions, you can edit the files
-language-local.dat and language-local.def under TEXMFLOCAL. Further
-information with tlmgr --help and at http://tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html.
+language.dat (or language.def) will be overwritten by the Debian

`What's been happening here?' he demanded.
`Oh just the nicest things, sir, just the nicest things.
can I sit on your lap please?'
`Colin, I am going to abandon you to your fate.'
`I'm so happy.'
`It will be very, very nasty for you, and that's just too
bad. Got it?'
`I gurgle with pleasure.'
