[luatex] luatex-0.95.0 on Debian: fmtutil problem

[Eduardo Ochs]

Hi list,

I am trying to compile and use luatex-0.95.0 on a Debian variant -
Trisquel - but I am getting errors at the "fmtutil" step... the error
messages are quite clear but I couldn't find anything on how to build
LuaTeX in a way that makes it look for ".ini" files where Debian puts
them:

  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/dvilualatex.ini
  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/lualatex.ini
  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/plain/config/dviluatex.ini
  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/plain/config/luatex.ini

The script I used is below. I edited it for readability, but after
editing it I tested it a handful of times by sending it line by line
to an Emacs shell buffer to make sure that the bug remains...
