Yes, that was clear to me. The problem is if the updmap call
*generates*new* files then we have to call mktexlsr.

Only
mktexlsr /var/lib/texmf
since updmap does not write anywhere else.
So that means we only have to adapt the trigger action of tex-common.
What do you say about that one:

I was thinking to introduce a separate function for the mktexlsr and warning
call, but that will not make it into testing, but the above might make it.
Any comments?
Best wishes
