Yes, this is from tetex-bin's postinst. And it is left there on purpose
- you are informed about this:

echo "Output of initex is in $TEMPFILE"
echo "Output of updmap is in ${MAPTEMP}"

This is useful for debugging, and I can't see how it violates any good
practice, policy or FHS.

So, for me this is not a bug. I would suggest to close it, but feel free
to elaborate and convince me.
