I disagree. The path can in principle be changed in texmf.cnf, but this
is not what we support.
Most of our scripts (the ones written for Debian) expect TEXMFDIST to
be /u/s/texmf-texlive and TEXMFSYSVAR to be /v/l/texmf.
Looking through the whole trigger code I see many instances of that.
To make it completely clear: Debian TeX Live does not support
moving of arbitrary trees by changing variables in texmf.cnf.
If we allow that this will be a huge set of worms we open up.
