runs simply "mktexlsr" in the postinst, should simply run
	mktexlsr /usr/share/texmf
instead.
Easier: Call dh_installtex in rules file and drop everything what
is now in postinst.

in principle the same as above, should call mktexlsr with argumetns,
or use dh_instaltex

For all these the simplest solution is:
	Please call mktexlsr with the argument where the files are
	installed, that is with 99.9999% 
		mktexlsr /usr/share/texmf
That is for the postinst, I didn't check the postrm and other 
scripts.

Best

And wow! Hey! What's this thing coming towards me very
fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a
big wide sounding word like... ow... ound... round...
ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground!
I wonder if it will be friends with me?
