The postinst scripts of the package e.g. call update-updmap,
update-language, update-fmtutil, which are necessary to set the
package up for a TeX system (at least the first one). These programs
are actually sitting in tex-common.
Which leads me to two other questions:
- Are the plans to put these tools into texlive-common and make
tex-common obsolete?
- Why does the postinst script call update-fmtutil? Yes, I know this
is an automatically added section.
