You can use ucf for that:

ucfq /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf | grep \
'/etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf'| tr -s '[:blank:]' '\t' | cut -f 4

(gives the Yes/No in the "Changed?" column)

Note that there might be ucf-old, ucf-new and ucf-dist files around.

P.S. leaving now for a weekend without internet access
