I’m not sure that following Debian’s example in this regard is helpful, but I obviously don’t know. It seems that the “out of the box” default paper size for Fink’s proposed texlive is US letter, and that works for me, so I don’t have to call “texconfig paper letter” explicitly. I understand that the rest of the world that uses A4 paper is out of luck, but I’m happy with the current defaults.
