A lot of the problems you have come down to this: teTeX 3.0 is not exactly the same as teTeX 2.02 was (mostly because of changes in the TeX Directory Standard); but the linux rpm/deb packages try hard to make it appear to be. Hence the attemps to make it fit in the old directory structure (Most probably this is because maintainers tend to dislike change).
also, tetex and tex live differ; one complication is that, because of the many possible installation variants on linux, some of the paths are set differently (and become pretty complex when you see them in their expanded form); it makes tracing errors painful Hans
