The preinst script looks for that file in the location where it will be *after* unpacking texlive-base_2009-11. At the point in time where it is run, however, it is in texlive-bin. A quick solution on the affected systems is to ln -s ../texlive-bin/pdftexconfig.tex /usr/share/texlive-base/ As package maintainers, we need to decide whether a fix for a bug that only ever existed in unstable during lenny development and that is not working properly upon lenny-->squeeze upgrade is worth being fixed through stable-proposed-updates.
