This will not happen, as it is usefull to configure dvips, xdvi, pdftex
etc at the same time, configuring *all* this program by hand is over the
abilities of more or less all users.
Furthermore, the adaptions of the Debian packages (update-*,
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/, ...) are necessary due to the Debian Policy
(configuration kept over upgrades, over remove/install, ...).

Aehmm ... please read
Debian-on-TeX
documentation (in html, pdf, txt) in /usr/share/doc/tex-common/
You should not use syncwithtree, as the file updmap.cfg is a *GENERATED*
file. You should ONLY edit files in /etc/texmf/updmap.d/

I have about 50 locally installed fonts and font packs, and I have a
config file /etc/texmf/updmap.d/90local.cfg and this works well.
