What about the following idea:

a) /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10lmodern.cfg exists
  - if the file was unchanged, remove it
  - if the file is changed, only add a magic header

b) /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10lmodern.cfg does not exist
  - the SAVED_CONFIG_FILE exists, ie if the 
     old lmodern was removed but not purged:
	- if SAVED_CONFIG_FILE is the same as the original CONFIG_FILE
	  remove it
	- if SAVED_CONFIG_FILE was changed
	  move it to the right /etc/texmf/updmap.d/ location, and
	  add a magic header
  - also SAVED_CONFIG_FILE is missing
    (the user has deleted the updmap.d config file)
    create the same updmap.d config file as in the new package, but
    with all Map items commented out

Comments?

Best wishes

Norbert

THROCKING (participial vb.)
The action of continually pushing down the lever on a pop-up toaster
in the hope that you will thereby get it to understand that you want
it to toast something. Also: a style of drum-playing favoured by Nigel
Olsson of the Elton John Band, reminiscent of the sound of someone
slapping a frankfurter against a bucket. An excellent example of this
is to be heard on 'Someone Save My Life Tonight' from the album
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.
