The parts that really map font names to files, yes. The first part with
the options for dvips and friends is still called 00updmap.cfg (but see
below).

Yes, the 00updmap.cfg part is now in tex-common. I'm unsure about two
things:
- it might be better from a practical point of view to change the name
from 00updmap.cfg to something else. On the other hand, the file is
already under ucf control, and we'll have to do some clever parsing of
the old file, anyway.
- I'm unsure what the sanity check should check for. If only tex-common
is installed, update-updmap currently runs without an error, and
produces an updmap.cfg without any font mappings. However, we cannot
simply check for 10tetex-base.cfg, because 10texlive.cfg (or however
it will be called) must work, too. And if somebody removes both files
and replaces them with their own version (with a different name), why
not let them do this?
