Exactly. The problem can be solved setting TEXMFMAIN to /usr/lib/texmf before you install the new packages. Once you do this everything should be fine (tetex-base will claim that VARTEXFONTS isn't set, but it won't stop the installation). The TeX *.cnf files have changed, so if you are updating it'd be a good thing to make a copy of the old ones and install the new ones that provide the new installation.
