Better than a diff would be if you looked at the first couple of
differing lines:

- Do they just appear in different order?

- If they are really missing in the ~/.texmf-var variant, in which map
  file in /etc/texmf do they appear?

for file in `find /etc/texmf/ -name "*.map"`; do grep -H <first_word_of_missing_line>; done

  and to which font do they correspond?  Where are the tfm, pfb, map,
  etc. files for that font?  


Looking at the code of updmap, I cannot understand how the difference
can arise:  Either the map is found, then it is used, or it is not
found, then you get an error, and updmap and therefore postinst fails.
