Well, this bug is now merged with 262395, but they seem to be opposite sides
of the same bugfix; the dependency on efmt is a result of the changes in
1.9-9 that were supposed to fix 262395/306595.

I don't really know anything about fmtutil (other than that it's a chronic
RC irritant).  What's the variable here that causes some systems to need
=2Efmt and some to need .efmt?  It doesn't seem to be the version of tetex
packages installed, at least.

Supposing for the moment we're out of time before release, which version
would we want to go with -- the 1.9-8 version that assumes .fmt, or the
1.9-9 version that assumes .efmt?
