I read the definition of severity before the bump but I missed the point
that other programs than dvipdfmx work properly.

In the old dvipdfmx package "/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/fontmapsx" file _was_
used in which additional dvipdfmx configuration lines are handled by
other dvipdfmx-needing packages; for example, ptex-jisfonts appends
"f jis-cjk.map" line to it or removes the line in the maintainer
postinst/prerm scripts using sed... By using this fontmapsx approach,
users who do not have the fontmapsx file always get another warning but
can have PDFs normally:
** WARNING ** Could not open config file "fontmapsx".
However, upstream dvipdfmx 20080517 or later changed the kpathsea
application name from dvipdfm to dvipdfmx and at the same time got to
look for dvipdfmx-specific configuration directory /etc/texmf/dvipdfmx
(cf. Important Note in http://project.ktug.or.kr/dvipdfmx/). Debian
lenny's dvipdfmx tried to revert to the older behavior (looking into
/etc/texmf/dvipdfm etc.) before 20080517 for dvipdfmx-needing packages
to work, by changing back the kpathsea progname to "dvipdfm"... This
revert was done partially; in reality, for files other than (at least)
"fontmapsx". Actually lenny's dvipdfmx does not even read
"/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/fontmapsx" :(
Anyway, adding needed map file entries to dvipdfmx.cfg causes each
warning to each line...

I don't know, but more map files are added, and more warnings will be
produced...

OK, I attach another patch in place of the warning-full patch to add
some mappings to "cid-x.map" necessary for jis fonts (rml-jis and
gbm-jis) which are copied from "jis-cjk.map" file in ptex-jisfonts.
This patch works around for ptex-jisfonts users, and other people will
not receive any warning message. I don't know other Chinese/Korean
people need their extra mappings, but, if so, the mappings can be added
like this patch. One caveat of this patch is that it does not handle
well with mapping the same font to another font, that is, mapping
"rml-jis" to other than "Ryumin-Light". This patch will work except in
such a situation (which I think "fontmapsx" takes into account.)
Note that the patch to restore DVIPDFMx.cnf proposed in the first post
is still needed to look for cmap files.
