tetex-bin 3.0-9 depends on tetex-base (>= 3.0-4), which depends on tex-common. tex-common provides a sane 05TeXMF.cnf, but additionally tetex-bin introduces TEXMFSYSVAR into texmf.cnf even if it is missing - exactly to prevent this bug from happening. Do you have any idea why tetex-base was not configured before tetex-bin? And do you think you can reproduce this bug (e.g. by going back to the old state of the conffiles) and have the tetex-bin postinst script run with set -x in the function sanitize_texmfcnf?
