Some more information, although I don't understand them fully. The
postinst script of the doc package calls

case "$1" in
    configure|abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure)
        update-texmf-config
    ;;
esac
---

Calling update-texmf-config w/o an argument does nothing: the script
simply exits. This would explain the behavior nicely. On he other hand
we have in postin of texlive-latex-recommended exactly the same code and
here a mktexlsr call is triggered:

root@amd64-sid:~# apt install texlive-latex-recommended
<snip>
