Yes, it's latex2html, whose INFO file contains
PostInstScript: <<
if [ -f %p/bin/mktexlsr ]; then %p/bin/mktexlsr %p/etc/texmf.local; fi

PostRmScript: <<

I made a mistake here last night and mixed things. From /sw/share. The
following files exist right now in /sw while no TeX related package is
installed:
find /sw -name "texmf*" -exec gls -l {} \;
insgesamt 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 80 14. Sep 01:18 ls-R

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 30 14. Sep 01:19

Yes. I did remove the older one (for example 2009) and install the newer one
(2010). Afterwards I rebuilt latex2html and dblatex to see whether the
system-texlive package works and installed them, ran latex2html on a LaTeX
file. Then I removed latex2html and dblatex and finally did the same with
system-texlive-20XY. This was my test loop.

Indeed! I have in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 13 Sep 19:11 texmf.local ->
/sw/etc/texmf.local
and the ls-R file there is quite up-to-date (2011-09-13 20:50).
/sw/etc/texmf.local is a directory.

/sw/share/texmf is a sym-link to /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf,
/sw/share/texmf.local is a sym-link to /sw/etc/texmf.local.

Then it's OK to write this?
Depends: tetex-base | texlive, ghostscript | ghostscript-nox, netpbm-bin
I'll try to clean up my Fink system later, after learning how to use 'dpkg -S'
better: instead of using a path name, a file name seems to be appropriate… (but
it fails to pick up the proper packages, probably because of the use of
PostInstScript)
