Here is a proposed diff (attached, and inline with comments):

Basic idea: - use the already collected data in
	@listfiles
(lines written to /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil.cnf/$package)
in the postinst-tex snippet:

Just call fmtutil with "$@" so that I can give more arguments

call dhit_build_format with --all --cnffile ... for the data in
@listlines which is substituted into #FORMATSFILES#

Simple, only replace in postinst #FORMATSFILES# with @listlines.

Points to be noted:
- postrm still only removes the predefined formats, not additional ones.
  This would need a run-time/install-remove-time parsing.. later
- not tested


Comments?
