Thanks. I think we'll want you to keep your custom TEXINPUTS for
$HOME. If we'd activate HOMETEXMF in texmf.cnf, it causes problems
for people that use spaces or other non-ASCII characters in their
$HOME/login. From questions we get on the LilyPond lists, people
don't seem to hesitate to do that any more.

Hmm, that's not good. Does that package have a new name? Otherwise
we're in dire need of versioned depends.

Ok. So tetex-beta and texmf-base/-tiny packages need to run the same
postinstall script; we'll have to merge them, I think.
Thanks for the report.
