I would forget about TT fonts. TT fonts are to difficult and error prone
to set up for TeX, i would leave it for now.

Calling
fc-cache -s
in the postinst script if the fonts have been installed for X.
Then there should be a check that we do *NOT* install foo.ali files,
which are eg present in the distribution of font support files from
Walter. THese files are for VTeX and are currently installed into
/etc/texmf/map, and included into updmap.cfg, which breaks horrible.
I think it is enough to change
$tdsdir/fonts/map/*)
to
$tdsdir/fonts/map/*.map)
About the fonts.scale: YOu create a fonts.scale in
/usr/share/fonts/type1/$fntpack, and move it to
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/$packname.scale. What about calling mkfontdir in
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/ in the postinst script? Does the mkfontdir
include the files mentioned in $packname.scale? Or do we have to call
mkfontsscale in /etc/X11/fonts/Type1/ prior to mkfontdir?
(I am not an X expert!)
Otherwise I would say it looks quite ok.
Best wishes
