Great if you do some testing, but it won't help you a lot immediately,
because:
- mktexlsr is NOT triggered, that I consider too hairy ATM
- only updmap-sys calls and fmtutil-sys calls when hyphenation patterns
are installed
- with the current packages you will have an actual loss, because the
triggers will start one updmap-sys call and the postinst off the font
packages will start a second one
To circumvent that you would have to rebuild some font packages or
texlive-lang-* packages with the tex-common from experimental to
actually get a win situation.
I am planning to do that and put some packages into the same location as
the tex-common package:
deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ triggers/
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ triggers/
(all signed with my gpg key).
But till now I didn't find time to build lmodern, cm-super, and some
texlive-lang packages using the new tex-common.
If you find time and energy to give some feedback that would be *really*
great!
Best wishes
Norbert
