Not at all from (Mixed)Map lines. It's just cosmetics to make the
generated updmap.cfg a little more readable (first the tex-common
"download_..." snippet, then base packages, then others).

^[[:alpha:]] will be after ^99[[:alpha:]] (and more importantly after
00updmap.cfg) when update-updmap handles them, won't it? So having no
number wouldn't be a bug, right?
Still I think it might look "cleaner" if every file started with a
number, even if it doesn't matter.
