Well, texhash tells me:
texhash: Updating /usr/lib/texmf/local/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /var/spool/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Done.
And /usr/lib/texmf/local is a link to /usr/local/lib/texmf
The ls-R file does show it knows where the envlab.sty (the ctan package I
wanted to use) is.
