Other possibilities or some questions;
I guess updmap could be in /usr/sbin with slight (possible)
modifications, then one can modify updmap in postinst script.
I also guess that it might be better to have not so big
psfonts.map and to add "p +cm-super.map" in config.ps than
to generate big one psfonts.map But, in this case, we need
some mechanism to generate config.ps with, for example,
update-configps or something.
(I don't know about pdftex.map, ps2pk.map)
In any way, I agree that tetex should provide smart way
so that other related package can set up its environment
easily.
