Oh. That is unexpected. I think we should debug this, and for this we
need the stderr of updmap run with "sh -x". I don't have time to give
any help in that, but if you or somebody else wants to find out: Go to
http://lists.debian.org/search.html and search for "apt-extracttemplates
control-overrides" in debian-devel. One of the mails is by me, I'm
answering to a mail that describes how to use changed postinst scripts
locally for testing.

Well, either it is a real bug - then it might be still present in the
packaging of 3.0. Or it is a misconfiguration on your side - then it is
possible that others have the same problem, and we should at least think
about documenting it. If not working around it.
