It is not there, it is in tex-common: I adapted the postinst with
loads of debug and what did I found:

DEBUG 122: 
DEBUG 123: 
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... DEBUG 124: 
DEBUG 125: 
ls-R
done.

(after every DEBUG there is a ls /u/l/s/temxf)

So it is 
	updmap-sys
that creates ls-R in /u/l/s/texmf ... bummer.

And there we see: updmap --help 
....
By default, the TeX filename database is also rebuilt (with mktexlsr).
...
  --nohash                  do not run texhash
...

Sooooooooooooo ... what is the solution? The simple idea would be to
call updmap-sys --nohash, but on initial installations that might lead
to problems as the psfonts.map etc file generated by updmap might
not be present *before* the run.

Any ideas?

Best wishes

Norbert
