Hmm, why not. Adjusting the cfg file for an deactivated map would be
easy. Also teh script is trivial.
Would it be enough to put the notes in the README.Debian? Or
News.Debian?

No idea. Can you check this? It shlould be easy to play the usual game:
dpkg-deb -x/-e, vi ../control, dpkg-deb -b ... and try it out.
I really don't know. I believe that it should work.
But: There is a problem with multiple fmt definitions: texlive-context
carries in:
10texlive-context.cnf
cont-en pdfetex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-en.ini
mptopdf pdfetex - -translate-file=cp227.tcx mptopdf.tex
metafun mpost - -translate-file=cp227.tcx metafun.mp
and texlive-pdfetex brings in 10texlive-pdfetex.cnf with the formats
etex and pdfetex.
I don't know how far we can mix all this!
Best wishes
Norbert

GRINSTEAD (n.)
The state of a lady's clothing after she has been to powder her nose
and has hitched up her tights over her skirt at the back, thus
exposing her bottom, and has walked out without noticing it.
