I have debian sid and tex-common was updated. Since texlive2008 is
installed on top of debian texlive2007, all format rebuilding in debian
updates is routed to texlive2008 binaries.

The error I saw is thus an error of texlive2008 which became obvious
during updating texlive2007. Manuel has already explained that the file
was misplaced or missing.
