Can you provide us with some logs, or some other way to investigate or reproduce it? > I didn't have a thorough look at that.

However, there *is* something strange in texlive-base.preinst: # texlive-base preinst.post begin # make sure that no strange old duplicate lines are hanging around in # 10texlive-base.cnf [...] # Cleanup after Bug #420390 for sid users resurrect_conffile_sid /etc/texmf/metafont/misc/modes.mf texlive-base "$1" "$2" resurrect_conffile_sid /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex texlive-base "$1" "$2" # we do not ship config.ps currently, do we need to resurrect that one, too? #resurrect_conffile_sid /etc/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps texlive-bin "$1" "$2" # texlive-base preinst.post end So there is no checking whether there is already an old version installed. Even in postinst, we have a case "$1" in configure) before the resurrect code. We should at least have a check whether we are uprgrading, and what the previous version was. And remove the code as soon as squeeze is released...
