Uh, that might point to the actual reason: It might be that the updmap
run from the postinst creates its files at a different place. What is
still unclear is why it does so. Could it be that you use different
methods of gaining root rights for installing packages on the one hand,
and for manually running updmap on the other?
Do you have dlocate installed? If yes, please send us the output of
dlocate updmap.log
dlocate updmap.cfg
Furthermore, please send us the output of the following commands:
kpsewhich --expand-var='$VARTEXMF'
kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'
Please execute them after getting root rights the same way you do it for
apt-get (or both ways if there are two different ones).

Oh, yes, I forgot this. If the output of the commands above doesn't
help us, we'll have to do more complicated things to get the postinst
changed.
