Actually it shouldn't be sooo hard. They are both just text files that
are parsed line-by-line. For updmap.cfg, it should be quite
straitforward to diff it against the generated one, put the additional
non-comment lines of the diff into /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10postinst.cfg
(together with a nice expanation) and run update-updmap again.

For fmtutil.cnf I have to check what happens when a duplication like 

# Change "tex.ini -> bplain.ini" and "- -> language.dat"
# if you want babel support in tex:
tex             tex             -               tex.ini
[...]
tex             tex             language.dat    bplain.ini

occurs in the generated file.
