Great that we have the functionality!

Well, he said that the defaults should be an extremely small set...
The list you gave seems to be the full list of tetex.
Either we take a reasonable small subset ('hyperconservative'), which would
be tex, latex (etex, elatex) (lambda, omega) or we take all Debian formats.
In the latter case, jadetex and pdfjade tex would join the list (or we could
make it a configuration file, where Debian packages can register tex format
files).
If I type "fmtutil --all", I would really expect *all* format files to be
remade, but that's just me.
