WOnderful, but then, why do we have all this complicated stuff with
update-fontlang? Shouldn't the same happen with fmt.d/ stuff? I.e., when
a packages is removed, and its config file is changed, than it stays
there (for a reinstall), but is not used for actually building the
fmtutil.cnf file.
How is this solved in tetex? Probably there is not much to do since
there is only one config file.

Does this mean that you think it is a good idea? Then I will do it, it
does not seem to be too complicated, they all use the same procedure.
