(I am sending personal copies since I don't know whether I can mail to the ntg list). First of all thanks for the explanations!

I checked the current zip file and the current ctxtools.rb script, it does nothing else than: - download the current zip - unpack - install the stubs from scripts/context/stubs/* - update the formats. So this is what we have to do in the Debian package, too. This is not hard, in fact most parts are already done. The only thing we have to do is create a way for the user to choose which formats should be generated. I will think about this. But for the search pathes, we will adjust the Debian texmf.cnf file, to get different engines loading differen cont-en.fmt files. Thanks.
