Ok, so this file was originally installed in /var/lib/texmf/web2c where
it belongs.

There are many parts for updmap.cfg from TeX Live packages but non from
teTeX packages, so the original file in /var/lib/texmf/web2c was created
*after* teTeX had been replaced by TeX Live.

This looks suspicious. Using '#! ' for commenting lines is typical for
updmap when called with --sync-with-trees (or --disable). According to
your current listing of /etc/texmf/updmap.d/, you no longer have
scalable-cyrfonts-tex installed. So maybe this package cause problems
with the mapfile generation at some point, which prompted you to call
'updmap-sys --sync-with-trees'. However, since you don't remember this,
we will never know for sure.
BTW, does anyone know if scalable-cyrfonts-tex is compatible with the
"new" font mechanisms from teTeX 3.0 and TeX Live yet?
