According to dpkg -S, 00tetex.cnf belongs to no package. The laptop has been running Debian Testing for few years (Sarge Testing, then Etch Testing, and now Lenny Testing), so it is probable that one of the versions of the package, which originally owned it, was uninstalled (or upgraded, rendering the file unneeded) but neglected to remove this file. After removing 00tetex.cnf (actually, I moved it to an user's home directory), texlive-base-bin and texlive-base and their dependencies were successfully configured. Subsequently, I successfully ran a task which depends upon them, proving that they are working properly. Thus, the real bug is that at installation time, texlive-base-bin does not verify that there are no problematic leftover files in /etc/texmf and its subdirectories. I think that it is a general problem, which may benefit from a Debian-wide solution. -- Did you shave a yak today?
