mktexlsr called to often in postin of tetex-base?

[Hilmar Preusse <hille42@web.de>]

Hi all,

sorry for not contributing to Debian any more. Time is slipping
through my fingers and I don't know where it's gone.

Today I upgraded my tetex-base package and noticed the following:

<snip>
Setting up tetex-base (3.0.dfsg.3-1) ...

mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFDIST-TETEX...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... done.

mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFDIST-TETEX...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.
Running fmtutil-sys. This may take some time... done.
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFDIST-TETEX...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.
</snip>

i.e. we're calling mktexlsr 3 times. I understand that we have to call
before updmap-sys and after fmtutil-sys, but do we really have to
call betwenn updmap-sys and fmtutil-sys?

IMHO there is room for optimization. If not, please explain.

Thanks,
  Hilmar

P.S.: Can I assume that debian-tetex-maint is dead? Actually I see
only spam coming over this list. The last good poster was Moshe, who
had debian-tex-maint in Cc.
