I am not so sure that step is optional. Because if the preinstalled version had a cont-sys.tex or cont-usr.tex, then this step may be required to make sure you are not using an out-of-date version of these files.
my texmf had been empty before. You're right. texexec had been using an old format file: $ kpsewhich cont-en.fmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.fmt I've deleted it (and also the old context directory). Now kpsewhich finds the right format file in ~/.texmf-var/.

This is the old teTeX-supplied context format from January 31, 2005, that was last regenerated on June 27. Not the new one you created in the previous step.
now i've got the following output (which should be fine): ConTeXt ver: 2006.07.24 10:49 fmt: 2006.7.26 int: english mes: english
From now on, I hope I can update using
texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext
does not work for me:
$ texmfstart ctxtools --updatecontext kpsewhich: option `--expand-var' requires an argument
Do not worry about that until the rest of the install is correct, it may start working automagically.
unfortunately it does not. Another problem might be that texexec --check complains about the nl format (actually I don't use it, en seems to work fine for me): TeXExec | progname: context This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (/home/ralf/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-nl.fmt mktexfmt: no info for format `cont-nl'.
