I just need to call mktexlsr. Previously (the package exists for a long
time even if it was not in Debian), I called manually mktexlsr.
Then, I switched to dh_installtex that installs several sanity checks
(is libkpathsea configured ?, ...)
The drawback is that update-updmap, update-language and update-fmtutil
are called whereas my package does not need them (and that mktexlsr is
called without any argument, so all dirs are checked).
I would prefer to stick with dh_installtex (so that improvment in this
script will automatically benefit to my package). But if you think it is
not a good think, I will go back with manual invocation of
dh_installtex.
Another possibility would be to improve dh_installtex, so that it better
manages simple latex package. Perhaps new options to remove
update-updmap, update-language and/or update-fmtutil calls. And a scan
of the package to call mktexlsr only on directories present in the
package. Would you be interested by this kind of developments ?
Best regards,
Vincent
