I cannot reproduce this in a sid chroot on i386.

Why 2.06? 2.07 was uploaded to sid in February, 2.08 in June.

I get:
Setting up tex-common (2.08) ...
[...]
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
texlive-base is not ready, delaying updmap-sys call
texlive-base is not ready, skipping fmtutil-sys --all call
Setting up texlive-common (2009-11) ...
This is the code in the postinst that generates the message:
if dhit_libkpathsea_configured; then
if which updmap-sys >/dev/null; then
# we also have to check that texlive-base is installed
# and configured, otherwise we cannot be sure that
# all necessary basic files are present
#
# dpkg-query has two defects wrt not existing packages
# - it is noisy to stderr
# - it returns 1
# so shut both errors up
stat=$(dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}' texlive-base
2>/dev/null || true)
case "$stat" in
"install ok installed")
do_it=1
;;
*)
do_it=0
;;
esac
if [ "$do_it" = 0 ] ; then
echo "texlive-base is not ready, delaying updmap-sys
call" >&2
else
tempfile=$(mktemp -p /tmp updmap.XXXXXXXX)
printf "Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... "
On your system, dpkg-query says
No packages found matching texlive-base.
which should be on stderr which is supposed to be discarded (an if it
was on stdout, it would end up in the stat variable anyway).
I don't get it.

Irrespective of whether tex-common has a bug, all those packages are
probably buggy, since it seems they depend on texlive-binaries. This
package does not provide any functionality to outsiders. Only with
texlive-base can they expect anything usable.
