Original bug report:
There appears to be a syntax error in /usr/bin/mtxrun.lua that causes mtxrun --generate to fail:

mtxrun --generate
lua error : startup file: /usr/bin/mtxrun.lua:2438: attempt to assign to const variable 'i'

This is present in luametatex 2.11.01+ds-2, but not in version
2.10.08+ds-1

This generate command gets called in postinst, most notably in tex-
common, resulting in:

# dpkg-reconfigure tex-common
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Running mtxrun --generate. This may take some time...
mtxrun --generate failed. Output has been stored in
/tmp/mtxrun.ZOxZraWH
Please include this file if you report a bug.

# cat /tmp/mtxrun.ZOxZraWH
lua error : startup file: /usr/bin/mtxrun.lua:2438: attempt to assign to const variable 'i'

This is being tracked upstream in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1064402
