It shouldn't hurt. Why: Even without *anything* cionfigured calls to
mktexlsr and updmap-sys should work without any problem. In fact I
already have thought about moving some of the basic scripts from
tetex/texlive to tex-common (like the scripts mktexlsr, updmap(-sys)
etc) as they are really the same and are really basic. But this was just
an idea.

Why? All the files are there in /etc/texmf (bacause they are installed
by tex-common!), and update-texmf does nothing special.

Best wishes
