Ups, I forgot update-updmap had migrated there! I must add this
dependency to the current packages for teTeX 3. Thanks for reminding me.

Hmmm, I am still not sure it would be correct to call them without
having first ensured that tetex-bin (or its texlive equivalent) is
configured. For a start, tetex-bin's postinst calls update-texmf. Also,
Debian Policy doesn't allow to assume it will work. If it is indeed
supposed to work, that should be documented in the Debian TeX
sub-policy.
