This file (together with the 'magic comment') is described right after
the section I quoted. I just skipped it for brevity, as I had not
changed anything there.

Hmm, that's long. Maybe some sort of appendix?

Why the differentiation between 'configure' and 'abort-upgrade|
abort-remove|abort-deconfigure'?

I guess that is specific to cm-super, right?

That would be great, indeed. Although #320147 talks about .cfg files as
argument to (the still hypothetical) dh_installtexfonts. This would be
useful for installing tetex-{base,extra} where one wants to keep the
comments with the map files. For font packages, that only include one or
two map files, using the map files as argument would be better. But
debian/$(package).maps might be a compromise. Or one could support both
versions. I haven't found all that much documentation on writing
debhelper scripts, though.
