I'm not a debconf expert, so I'm probably wrong. Can you store the result of the debconf question under /var (maybe /var/state) and have code under /etc/emacs that load tex-site if the debconf state file exists? The variable contents is then under /var. The content under /etc/emacs won't vary, but you can tag it as a conffile anyway to satisfy policy. It only needs to be there so it's evaluated at Emacs startup time. I hope this helps. Peter
