Ok, for sure not so complicated, only there is the problem that dh_
scripts do *not* allow arbitrary cmd line optins. Looking into
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Getopt.pm I see that we could use
--flavor=withconfig
Would this be ok?
So calling
dh_installtexfonts --flavor=withconfig foo.cfg Map=bar.map
would install
config.bar
and
config.xxx
for every xxx.map in foo.cfg (found by the parser to be written). If the
--flavor=withconfig is not used, no config.xxxx files are generated.
Comments?
If ok, I will implement it soon, for tex-common 0.13.

If I would only see other things than ? I could probably understand, but
as long as the whole world hasn't finally switched to ucs2 or ucs4, and
fonts are available, and programs, and and and ... pity.
