Me neither ... at least now I know *why* it breaks, because dvipsk-ja
installs a config file that has a4size as paper size, and all the others
a4, so the queried paper sizes differ, and thus another part is
executed in the libpaper.d/texlive-base script.
Frank, it is here:
# the four Papers are not all the same. Ask the user.
db_subst texlive-base/binary_chooser libpaperPaper $LibpaperPaper
Do you know why this breaks?

Ok, I hope Frank can make something out of that.
Best wishes
