Hi thanks for the report, indeed, indeed. That is btw a problem also upstream. The problem is that the previous file under TEXMFVAR/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex is still present but changes are done in TEXMFVAR/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/pdftexconfig.tex
Searching for all of these files with kpsewhich -all pdftexconfig.tex gives three hits. Thanks, I will look into it (upstream and in Debian)!
