Umm, that's my point. I was fairly certain the texmf.cnf in the tarball
*should* have been overwritten by the one generated in the build, but it
wasn't because it had the word `original' removed.

It's not there at all which, again, is my point. :) Perhaps I've
misunderstood what the build is supposed to be doing, but it's not the
first time I've done this...
