texlive-binaries.postinst has

case "$1" in
  configure|reconfigure)
    update-texmf
    update-fmtutil
    if dhit_libkpathsea_configured; then
      # we are shipping mktexlsr, so it must be there!
      mktexlsr /usr/share/texmf /usr/share/texmf-texlive /var/lib/texmf
      if [ -r /usr/share/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr ] ; then
        dhit_build_format --refresh
      fi
    fi
    ;;
esac

But without the dependency on tex-common, we cannot call update-texmf
and update-fmtutil.

I'm not sure whether this is unfinished work, or you didn't even start
to transfer changes from luatex?
