The reason for me to implement KPSE_DOT in all kind of scripts (mktexpk,
fmtutil etc.) was to try to immitate a regular call of mf / tex as close
as possible. I.e. people might have a local hyphenation pattern file
which they could use via
tex -ini ...
I wanted that the tools work in the same way. Since the tools chdir away,
I somehow had to adjust the search paths.
Instead of setting individual search paths, I thought that KPSE_DOT
would be a better "interface" for that functionality.

Does this mean, that debian has "." in the search path for texmf.cnf
files? If yes, where (beginning, end, middle)?

The same would happen for a regular tex / latex / mf run?
