Ok, I have changed this a little bit. The reference to the appendix is
now directly after the discussion of calling update-updmap/mktexlsr/
updmap-sys, since the sample code doesn't deal with the "magic comments"
anyway.
The end of section 4.1.1 now states that dh_installtexfonts is the
recommended way to implement this configuration scheme and refers to
dh_installtexfonts(1) for usage instructions. IMHO details of how to
use dh_installtexfonts should not go into the policy. One could move
this comment to the beginning of the section.
