Of course it is there - you could simply copy it from
/usr/share/texlive-base/.  But I'd appreciate if you could first do
this:

echo "DEBUG=1" >> /etc/ucf/ucf.conf
echo "VERBOSE=1" >> /etc/ucf/ucf.conf

and repeat the call above with redirection:

dpkg -i --force-confnew \\
/var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-base_2009-13_all.deb >dpkg.lg 2>&1
