If you depend on debianutils, which provide /usr/bin/which - I don't
think that "which" is POSIX, and therefore dash and posh won't
understand it.  Something along

if [ -e "`which update-updmap 2>/dev/null`" ] || \
  [ -x /usr/bin/update-updmap ] || \
  [ -x /usr/sbin/update-updmap ]; then

might do.  We do have such bashisms/debianutils-isms in tetex, too.
