Sorry, I found two more things while testing the upgrade.  

First, you should bump your versioned depends on tex-common to 0.19,
since you need a working dh_installtex.

Second, after the upgrade thai.map is still in /etc/texmf/dvips/ even if
the user never touched it, and will be left after purging.  At least the
second thing is actually a dpkg bug, but we still should work around it.

I suggest to put the following code into your preinst:

old_md5sum=78e5add055dd03616e5bbfbe54db6947
current_md5sum=`grep thai.map /var/lib/dpkg/status | cut -f 3 -d ' ' 2>/dev/null || true`
if [ $old_md5sum = "$current_md5sum" ]; then
   rm /etc/texmf/dvips/thai.map
fi
