That code only cleans up ucf stuff. As ucf is not intended to be used
with conffiles, this does not affect dpkg's database. The code is
working, otherwise debsums wouldn't complain about missing files.
Doing it in the postinst is too late, too.
I think dpkg-maintscript-helper renames the file in preinst s.t. dpkg
sees the conffile is no longer on the system + no longer in the package
and then forgets about it.
It should probably be sufficient to just add 4 more rm_conffile lines to
texlive-base.maintscript.
