The way I see it right now, both 'updmap-sys --syncwithtrees' and
'updmap-sys --edit' create '/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg'.
Especially the latter is quite likely to be used at some point by a
local admin who hasn't read the Debian specific docs. I don't think that
removing '/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg' during tetex-bin's
configuration would be enough.
