Bill, have you tested with a simple wrapper around the missing command?

-       mktexlsr
+       if [ -x /usr/bin/mktexlsr ]; then
+               mktexlsr
+       fi

etc.?

Probably the same with update-texmf and update-fmtutil.

I don't have a suitable test system just at the moment.

Other postrm scripts in the package may also suffer the same (hidden)
problem:

ptex-bin-3.1.10+0.04b$ grep mktex debian/*.postrm
debian/jbibtex-bin.postrm:       mktexlsr
debian/jmpost.postrm:       if mktexlsr --help >/dev/null 2>&1; then 
debian/jmpost.postrm:         mktexlsr
debian/ptex-bin.postrm:       mktexlsr

Just an idea in passing - I'll see if I can arrange a suitable test
later, hopefully.
