Actually, **nothing** is necessary if you only install .sty files, that
is files into /usr/share/texmf/ and do NOT need font map updates or
other specific actions.
tex-common is watching /usr/share/texmf and will run mktexlsr
automatically.
Bottomline: no need to add anything, but what Hilmar suggested is also
fine, just a no-op. Though it will help in case you need to do more in
the future (maps, hyphenations, formats).
Best
