update-updmap does exist in tetex-2. The user could choose not to use
it, but this wasn't working properly, anyway. The formally correct way
would be to ask debconf about tetex-bin/upd_map, and not do anything if
it is set to false; otherwise call update-updmap and updmap.
However, I doubt that many packages did this. Either they were
completely unaware of update-updmap and just informed their users to
edit updmap.cfg, or they used it unconditionally.
Since generating updmap.cfg will be mandatory in etch, I wouldn't bother
with that. Just use update-updmap; if a sarge user has chosen otherwise
and complains that their hand-crafted updmap.cfg is overwritten, you can
tell them they're on their own when using software that hasn't been
released with sarge.
