in ~/texmf.cnf?? If yes, it does matter. How do you expect that tex is
finding that? Should it search the whole hard disk, or the whole $HOME
(which might be on NFS and be huge ..).

Thanks, I was asking for the setting of TEXMFCNF, not its meaning.

What? The Debian/Ubuntu packages put ls-R files for /var/lib/texmf,
/usr/share/texmf, /usr/share/texmf-texlive under /var and create links.
Nothing else is done.
If you call
mktexlsr ~/texmf
then you will get
~/texmf/ls-R
The problem might be that there was an out-dated ls-R file NOT listing
the texmf.cnf file. Right? In this case, please remove ls-R files in ~,
they are useless.
Best wishes
