Well no and yes.

Well yes and no. The relevant execute is of the following form
<TPM:Execute function="BuildFormat" parameter="xetex"/>
meaning that it should take the file
Master/texmf/fmtutil/format.xetex.cnf
(where "xetex" can change) and that is practically the fmt.d config
file.
The real code WAS in the make_maintainer sub where the relevant lines
where extracted from the format.foobar.cnf file. But this code is gone
with the switch to dh_installtex.
I think we can leave it like it is now, with dh_installtex creating the
links and the blacklist entries, it is not so bad.

well, no so hard or? But it is not code of mine, but taken from the
tpm-factory.pl script or Tpm.pm I assume.

No, could contain dashes, commas, whatever. Not that I believe that it
does currently happen, but dashed can definitely occur.

No, order is arbitrary ... it could be
<TPM:Execute parameter="xetex" function="BuildFormat"/>

Well in principle we could even say that we always have
function=XXXXX parameter=YYYY [mode=ZZZZ]
but this is against the XML ideas, these entries CAN be in arbitrary
order, and new ones can be added. Even if this is not the case now, we
don't know.
I would say: It works, so let us leave it rest as it is, there are more
urgent problems then rewriting this part. Everything works now (I assume
at least) with dh_installtex ...
