How could it be? That is dpkg stuff.
No the problem is quite simple, the formats where moved from
texlive-base-bin to texlive-base, but the config file was never moved...
This is already old, from README.changes:
---------------------
2007-05-21
* texlive-common conflicts with all package revisions of all packages
<< latest-revision as set in tpm2deb.cfg.
* big format move:
- move (partly fixed) format.{tex,pdftex,etex,metafont} to texlive-base
and edit format.latex.cnf in texlive-base. Fixes done:
. add pdfetex to format.etex.cnf
. add latex to format.latex.cnf
. remove those two from format.pdftex.cnf
. take unchanged format.tex.cnf
- BuildFormat executes moves:
. remove call in texlive-bin/bin-{tex,pdftex,etex,metafont}.tpm
. add call {tex,pdftex,etex} to plain.tpm (and thus to texlive-base)
. add call metafont to metafont.tpm (and thus to texlive-base)
- missing: should we take over fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf? I prefer
to leave it there and don't do anything. After we have this version
without a conf file we can add code for the upgrade from 2005.
* as a consequence of the format move some cleaning actions:
- remove /usr/bin/mf -> mf-nowin as generated from dh_installtex in
texlive-base rules, mf is shipped by texlive-base-bin
- remove also /usr/bin/{pdf,}etex in texlive-base rules, and create
them via dh_link in texlive-base-bin
-----------------
Note the:
- missing: should we take over fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf? ...
I guess we should simple add code to the postinst script to remove it?

probably better to the postINST of texlive-base-bin ...
