Hmmm, you are obviously trying your best to have these commands work on Debian, but is it really a good idea here? For instance, if tetex-extra is removed-but-not-purged and you use --syncwithtrees, you will effectively comment out every line of 20tetex-extra.cfg. Personally, I think I would not care about all that and simply tell them to edit the files under /etc/texmf/updmap.d/... -- Florent
