Hi everyone, I am the one who implemented triggers for tex-common, one of the maintainers.

Can you provide a log showing what went wrong in your case?

As Hauke said, updmap and mktexlsr is already handled by triggers. And all TeX related packages I know of already use dh_installtex so they should be using trigger, too. Sometimes we *have* to run these commands out of trigger sequenece right in the postinst, esp when formats are concerned. With TL2011 updmap runs will be *MUCH* faster as we switched to a perl script that runs in a fraction of the time of the old shell script.
