What’s up with this one?  texlive-updmap.cfg isn’t supposed to be
propagated.  Why is it used with only these two texlive-* packages?

Should texlive-amsfonts and texlive-lm be moved one level up to
propagated-inputs instead, and texlive-updmap.cfg be removed?

Hi Ricardo,

my understanding was that texlive-updmap.cfg is only useful for font
packages. Why is it not supposed to be propagated? I looked at
python-nbconvert as a reference, which does the same thing.

Cheers,
Lars

My mistake.  I still remember texlive-union, which built a union
directory from its inputs — that union directory and its config file
could not be composed with other files or packages.  Propagating it
would have been pointless.

This texlive-union eventually gave way to texlive-updmap.cfg, which only
creates font map files, while propagating its inputs.  The font map
files should be usable as is, and since the inputs are propagated the
texlive-base profile hook can generate them anew (together with other
installed texlive-* packages) when needed.

So I guess this is fine after all.  Sorry for the noise!

I have applied your patch.
