Yes, running "dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1", then choosing "letter",
then running dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1" again, then choosing "a4"
fixes the configuration.
zira:~> tl-paper
Current context paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/tex/context/user/cont-sys-paper.tex): a4
Current dvipdfmx paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx-paper.cfg): a4
Current dvips paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/config-paper.ps): a4
Current pdftex paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex): a4
Current xdvi paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/xdvi/XDvi-paper): a4
I can notice a change in the config.dat file:
Name: texlive-base/binary_chooser
Template: texlive-base/binary_chooser
+Value: pdftex, dvips, dvipdfmx, xdvi
Owners: texlive-base
+Flags: seen
+Variables:
+ libpaperPaper = letter
