I see. I put that stuff (config) and added local packages together in
TEXMFLOCAL. Hmm, maybe I'll add a TEXMFCONFIG to separate additional
packages (in LOCAL) and stuff from config setting (in CONFIG), set
VARTEXMF to TEXMFCONFIG and keep VARTEXFONTS for font generation. Or:
MAIN
DIST (for me currently two trees, one with teTeX-texmf and one with
some additional packages by me)
LOCAL
CONFIG
HOME
and VARTEXFONTS for generated stuff like pk files and such.
