Well, I think we should settle for a recommendation for a priority.
ALl the texlive packages ship 50, what does tetex ship? We should come
up with a common notion how.

I thought about something like $package.maps containing
Map foo.map
MixedMap bar.map
Map baz.map
etc and on the cmd line you can do the same
dh_installtexfonts Map foo.map MixedMap bar.map ...
this can be handled and the code easily copied by hand from dh_link I
guess.

Aehhh, no idea. No I didn't. I guess it is like all the other
dh_* scripts adding stuff to the postinst and postrm scripts.

Well, this won't work for others, as this is not in debian ;-) I have no
idea how such things could be added. I think all the dh_scripts are
directly included in debhelper package. I could imagine creating a deb
package debhelper-texfonts which we could depend on and which ships only
these three files. DD on the list, any comment to this?
