In your new postinstall script, I wonder if it would be better to delete 
/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg rather than editing it.  The reason is that 
the master updmap.cfg in /usr/share/texmf/web2c may have changed due to 
the addition or deletion of TL packages containing fonts, and I don't 
think these changes get propagated to /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg.
