No, that was a thinko.  When patching updmap and fmtutil, we need to
create these directories for disabling or enabling formats.  But in
update-fontlang, that doesn't make sense.  Soe for update-fontlang, I
suggest

    conf_dir=""
    texmfconfig=$(kpsewhich --expand-path '$TEXMFCONFIG')
    OLDIFS="$IFS"
    IFS=:
    for d in "$texmfconfig"; do
        if [ -d "$d/$CNFDIR" ]; then
            conf_dir="$d/$CNFDIR"
            break
        fi
    done
    IFS="$OLDIFS"
    # still empty?  Pick one
    if [ -z "$conf_dir" ]; then
      echo "No fmt.d directory found in"
      echo "$texmfconfig"
      echo "I don't know what you want me to do, exiting."
      exit 1
    fi
