Disregarding comment's, that's just
-rm -f /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R 2>/dev/null || true
+rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /usr/local/share/texmf/ 2>/dev/null || true
also reading the bug that made us add the original line, #333308,
doesn't give any reason why this should have been right.
By the way, in this bug log I read:

Hm, remembering this could have saved us quite a lot. I'm also surprised
that it didn't show up earlier, since Lars also writes:

I leave trigger stuff for stable to you until I feel comfortable with
the code.
