Yes, I know that thread but I am lazy and didn't follow
them at that time.

I read the thread again and I thought I could got your 
point.  So your solution was;

debian/config:

if [ -f ${etcdir}/updmap ]; then
    db_input high tetex-base/oldupdm || true
    db_go || true
fi

debian/postinst:

if [ -f ${etcdir}/updmap ]; then
    db_get tetex-base/oldupdm || true
    if [ X"$RET" = X"true" ]; then
        rm -f ${etcdir}/updmap*
    fi
fi

(a bit modified but this would be your intention, I guess.)

It seemd simple, clean and reasonable fix.  If anyone
doesn't find a problem I will do this fix in our CVS.

No problem.  And this idea looks reasonable too.
