I think I can explain why it was touched: When you call updmap(-sys)
--syncwithtrees, it takes the first updmap.cfg that it can find and
changes it.
O, wait. It should find the one in $TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c
(/var/lib/texmf/web2c) first. What is currently the output of
kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'
grep '^[[:space:]]*TEXMF =' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
TIA, Frank
