Bug#1051243: tex-common: fmtutil failed on tex-common upgrade

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson <gunnarhj@debian.org>]

Control: affects -1 ibus-table
Control: severity -1 serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-input-method@lists.debian.org

This problem prevents the ibus-table package, where tex-common is 
indirectly in Build-Depends, from building in unstable.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=ibus-table&ver=1.17.4-2&arch=all

I haven't been able to reproduce the failure locally, and ibus-table 
builds successfully in Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-table/1.17.4-1

I'm aware of the case where fmtutil failed under a broken locale, but 
that does reasonably not apply when building for unstable.

debian/postinst includes this line:

FMTUTIL="fmtutil --sys --strict 
--no-error-if-no-engine=luajittex,mfluajit,luajithbtex"

One thought is to replace "--strict" with "--no-strict" as a workaround 
while awaiting a proper fix. That idea is untested, though.
