That looks interesting.

Not sure. One problem is that TEXMFSYSCONFIG comes extremly early in the
search path in some situations. updmap-sys (and probably fmtutil-sys and
texconfig-sys) set TEXMFCONFIG equal to TEXMFSYSCONFIG. Maybe your
second suggestion together with
TEXMFSYSCONFIG=/etc/texmf/{texmf-site,TeXLive,teTeX}
could be used.
