That is good. Ok, I still not understand what Yoshihito-san did with
that control@ magic splitting bugs and reassigning, but I don't care now.

It depends. I don't know enough about dvipdfmx config files, but
in principle we could auto-generate dvuipdfmx config file from the
map snippets installed, as we do with updmap.cfg.

But I am not sure if *all* the map files in updmap.cfg should be used
in dvipdfmx, or only a subset, or no relation at all.

Of course we can create a new variant, update-dvipdfmx and add
support for it in dh_isntalltex ...I mean, it is simply copying of
code in the already present script, well, probably some more, but
what the hack.

But do we need that?

Best wishes
