Why is --quiet only used for update-updmap?  It's the same script behind
the three, and with "-v" it always says

${progname}'s -v option is deprecated. The default mode of operation will
be verbose as soon as enough packages use the --quiet option. Please update
your scripts accordingly.\n\n" >&2; quiet=0; shift ;;

I've just copied dhit_... to postrm.functions.  I still need to check
how the other run_if_exist calls perform if tex-common isn't
configured.
