Since the file to be changed by the admin is /etc/libpaper, this sounds fine. However, what will happen if someone puts a copy of one of the configuration files into /etc/texmf? I guess it must include the same reference to the fil ein /var, or the libpaper integration will fail?

But that would spoil our complete approach, and it doesn't fit to reality I guess.
