I can reproduce the problem in Lucid _and_ it is not fixed in Maverick.
The problem is that texconfig fails to run /usr/share/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr
which is provided by texlive-base which in turn needs ed.
So a possible fix could be that texlive-binaries depends on texlive-base which
in turn should depend on ed because tcfmgr (or one of the callee) needs it.
The same issue occurs in maverick. To reproduce with the current version in
maverick:
$ apt-get remove --purge texlive-base texlive-binaries ed
$ apt-get install texlive-binaries
$ texconfig paper a4 (nothing happens)
$ apt-get install texlive-base
$ texconfig paper a4
$ texconfig paper letter
Shows modified config lines (in lucid is displays nothing because ed was not
installed). That works but the fix is the wrong way round.
Marking as verification-failed.
