IMHO this is a bad idea, since it ties your files to dvi-drivers that
understand this particular syntax. The LaTeX packages that I mentioned
on different occasions in this thread do something similar, but in a
more flexible way. For example, they autodetect pdfTeX and use the right
syntax for that.

IMHO this is a question of general LaTeX usage and in no way Debian
specific. In addition, the UK TUG FAQ (aka TeX FAQ) that Norbert
mentioned is actually in tetex-doc:
/usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc/help/faq/uktug-faq/FAQ-papersize.html
texconfig as interface for changing the default paper size is also
metnioned in the teTeX-FAQ
/usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc/tetex/teTeX-FAQ.gz
I could imagine some smaller changes, though:
. tetex-bin, README.Debian, '2.1.3. What is configured where?':
Mention default paper size as one of the things configured via
texconfig(-sys).
. NEWS.Debian: besides updmap-sys and fmtutil-sys also metion
texconfig-sys. Refer to TETEXDOC for the upstream release notes.
[I don't know how to do this properly, since NEWS.Debian already
contains a part 'NEWS in teTeX version 3.0'. Can we change that part?
Add a 'Further NEWS in teTeX version 3.0' part?]
. Maybe add a part 'What is not documented here' to tetex-bin's
README.Debian:
- (La)TeX usage (mention TeX FAQ and the introductions in there)
- teTeX in general (refer to TETEXDOC)
