Actually, why NOBODY did check that? It is already fixed since version
0.36
form 25 Oct 2006!!!!
Am I blind or I you joking me???
>From the changelog:
* dh_installtex: Include only the minimal mktexlsr code in case no other
installation is done (ie no maps, formats, languages). Also add the
ability to specify texmf trees on the command line, and only recreate
the ls-R DB for /usr/share/texmf and /var/lib/texmf [preining]
(Closes: #392359)
And checking the postinst code of the packages there is NOWHERE a
unguarded call to mktexlsr.
Please guys, let us finally close this rubbish bug.
Serious severity for a bug that *NOBODY* actually checked for
correctness.
Best wishes
