Bug#588731: texlive-binaries: Messages in texconfig need Debian adaption

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2009-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

$ texconfig formats
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.

Exiting.

This is not really correct on a Debian system, in particular not the
advice given.

Regards, Frank
