fmtutil wasn't debianized at all, it's --edit and
--disable-fmt/enable-fmt options worked on
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf. Same for texconfig. The rest is just
that updmap wasn't able to create $TEXMFCONFIG with its editing options.

That's all I think.

I'm not sure what he wants, I suggested to lowercase everything and will
wait for his input.

Yes, it's definitely not RC.

Would the package configuration still work with the old file (if the
changes are only in comments)? In this case the policy-clean solution
would be to just leave the locally changed file.
