There aren't that many packages shipping updmap.d file:
tex/cm-super
tex/cm-super-minimal

So that is not soo bad. And with hyphenation patterns it is even
simpler, besides texlive-* we have only littex and latex-cjk-chinese.
So I see no need here.

I consider it not to problematic. And, there is a way that people
actually WANT to have that updmap-sys is called already very soon, if
the fonts are used in the postinstall itself (no idea if that ever will
actually occur). dh_installtex can be called with some option to disable
the trigger behaviour and make it behave as before.
So I don't see much hurry here, we are trying to update texlive packages
at some point, and the others hopefully will follow.

fortyfive minutes and the luffness is beginning to wear a bit thin.
