$ grep mktexlsr src/Packages/tex-common/trunk/debian/postinst.in 
        # mktexlsr may not be present
        if which mktexlsr >/dev/null; then
            tempfile=$(mktemp -p /tmp mktexlsr.XXXXXXXX)
            printf "Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... "
            if mktexlsr > $tempfile 2>&1 ; then
                echo "mktexlsr failed. Output has been stored in"
    # that calls mktexlsr if possible, and update-*
