No but the package scripts can/should do that, which are of course
executed by the "package manager"
apt-cache show lmodern
Package: lmodern
Version: 2.004.1-3.1
Installed-Size: 42623
Maintainer: Debian TeX maintainers <debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org>
(...)
The fonts are setup for use with the TeX typesetting system. They
are also registered with defoma, which makes them available to other
applications such as Ghostscript and Fontconfig. Finally, they are
made available to the core X11 fonts system, which makes it possible
to use them in any X application.
