There is one problem with the upload you did, or it was intended: 
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `/etc/texmf/xmltex': Directory
not empty

The new .ini files which have been in /etc/texmf/xmltex should now be in
/usr/share/texmf/xmltex/config. But in an older version of xmltex they
have been there TOO as LINKS to /etc/texmf/xmltex/. So with the new NMU
package NOT the links are replaced by the proper files, but the files in
/etc/texmf/xmltex are overwritten by themselves, more or less.

So we still have the very same problems now. Or was the current
situation intended?

Best wishes

Norbert
