Are you using etch or sid? On sid we are at texlive 2007 ...

This is strange.

Can you tell us which files you have in 
        /etc/texmf/fmt.d
and whether there is a file
        /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-pdfetex.cnf
it should contain lines for etex.

Then check      
        /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
for ### From file: /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-pdftex.cnf
it should be included.

Best wishes

Norbert
