An other idea, probably cheaper, would be to get read access to a
machine with a full Debian mirror. Then one could filter the postinst
part out of the diff.gz and grep for updmap there. Unfortunately I
neither have access, nor do I know hot ot cut out the postinst part. But
maybe it's as fast (and gets some less false negatives) to just grep
over the whole diff.gz.
We would still miss Debian native packages with postinst in
orig.tar.gz. But I doubt these use updmap.
