Yes, true. I have to add that the bug has disappeared now. Perhaps you
might want to tag it "user-error" but leave it open as a bad example to
others. What happened?

1. A bug somewhere in my TeX installation (which I am going to file a
separate report about) made me try to start fresh. I purged tetex-base
(and all the other packages depending on it in endless dselect
dependency resolution screens).
2. The directory /etc/texmf was still populated. I decided that tetex
had left cruft behind and removed it.
3. I tried to install tetex-base again.

That was when the problem appeared. The mistake, of course, was step 2.
Solution was another purging, this time I included tex-common, of which
I had just learnt (because update-languages is in it), followed by
another install.

It appears that the purging of tetex should at some point have at least
hinted at the existence of tex-common.

Bye,
