I deleted all my "own" map files in $TEXMFMAIN, so that they only
reside in $TEXMFHOME again.

After I run
$ updmap
as normal user chris---not as root!---there's a pdftex.map in
/home/chris/.texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/ and all my own fonts
are found by pdflatex. So, it works now :-)!

There were no problems with the manually installed teTeX 3.0 on my
laptop. All my fonts worked and I used the same $TEXMFHOME as on my
desktop. So I had a working installation of teTeX 3.0 that showed me
everything is right in $TEXMFHOME. The problem was that calling
updmap as root did not create
/home/chris/.texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/ and its content and
that /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map was not
correctly updated (even with all map files in $TEXMFMAIN)---and is
still not even after calling updmap as root. But without
/home/chris/.texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map is found by
pdflatex called by a normal user and it doesn't contain the right
entries.
As long as updmap called by a normal user can't write
/usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R I would except updmap called by root
would do the job for every user, i.e. creating a correct
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map.
