As I said, it isn't. To further show that we do not mess around with those files in our maintainer scripts, here's the output of a grep on the updated system: $ grep hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.conffiles:/etc/texmf/platex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.conffiles:/etc/texmf/cslatex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/babel/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/etc/texmf/platex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/etc/texmf/cslatex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/usr/share/texmf/tex/cslatex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.md5sums:4ed6b6851784d192c4983eeb969844c2 usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/babel/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.md5sums:1199fd3dbe752e8eedaca7a5a6df9258 etc/texmf/platex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.md5sums:987e934d95d372902b0e1a81d3dc3802 etc/texmf/cslatex/hyphen.cfg And this is on a standard unstable system: $ grep hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.conffiles:/etc/texmf/platex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.conffiles:/etc/texmf/cslatex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/babel/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/etc/texmf/platex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/etc/texmf/cslatex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.list:/usr/share/texmf/tex/cslatex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.md5sums:65b84fff88e761f88d072cf7c6ef39ad usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/babel/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.md5sums:1199fd3dbe752e8eedaca7a5a6df9258 etc/texmf/platex/hyphen.cfg /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-base.md5sums:987e934d95d372902b0e1a81d3dc3802 etc/texmf/cslatex/hyphen.cfg Note that the platex/hyphen.cfg file has identical md5sum.
