This will only work on a system with only one user - the others have no
chance to actually access the map files referenced by the produced
psfonts.map etc.
On a system with only one user it will of course work, but still it
means bypassing the test for map file existence that have been
introduced into updmap with teTeX-3.0.
The clean solution would be
- either install all files into /usr/local/share/texmf, and all map
files and updmap snippets in /etc/texmf, and use update-updmap without
options and updmap-sys
- or install everything below $HOME and use update-updmap with options
and updmap, as outlined in my other mail.
