Shouldn't the output file go to VARTEXMF,
i.e. $HOME/.texmf-var/web2c/updmap.cfg? Maybe it's also a good idea to
mention the "kpathsea" names of the directories,
i.e. TEXMFCONFIG/web2c/updmap.d and TEXMFVAR/web2c. By the way, why
not put updmap.d directly in TEXMCONFIG/updmap.d?

"If a file exists in both directories, the version in TEXMFCONFIG takes
precedence".

Ah, I didn't anticipate this.
Thank you, Frank
