I don't understand. Shouldn't tetex-bin call the update-* scripts before
generating formats/map files/...

[Looking into common.functions.in]

It seems it doesn't. IMO that's the bigger problem.

But then, calling the update-* scripts should be safe at any time.
However, now there is an unconditional call to mktexlsr in tetex-base's
postinst jusst before the update-* scripts are called. IMO this is
unsafe (tetx-bin might not be installed) an unnecessary (the update-*
scripts don't use kpathsearching).
