Ok, I will try to upload a version to experimental and announce the
triggers support here and on debian-devel, but ...

first I try to get fmt triggers working, too.
Normally only those formats are recreated which have been newly
installed, so there is no problem with that. The postinst code calls
fmtutil-sys --all --cnffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/MY_CONFIG_FILE
thus other formats are not automatically regenerated.
So the only problem is for the hyphenation patterns where the same
formats (latex, pdflatex, xelatex) are re-created again and again.
There will be still some overlap, since when we install texlive-base-bin
we call
fmtutil-sys --all
plain ahead, so there would be no need, but anyway, any saved fmtutil
call is better than none saved.
Best wishes
