Alright, this is in part a bug of the Debian package, in part a bug of
texexec. texexec is run as root and *SHOULD* be able to create the
directory /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex. But probably it is a bug *only*
because we already have the link pdftex -> pdfetex but NO pdfetex
directory.
Next version of the debian package will fix this. In the meantime please
simply create the dir as root
mkdir /var/lib/texmf/pdfetex
and call again as root
dpkg-reconfigure context
Best wishes
