Sorry for this late answer, the promotion of the Fedora 15 release took me much
time ^^

The job you've done with this new version is really impressive! We are near to
approve this package :)

Just some comments anyway:

* in %post, you can summarize all the updmap-sys calls with a for loop:

   %post -n %{texfontpkg}
   texhash
   conffile="$(texconfig-sys conf | grep updmap.cfg)"
   if [ "$1" -eq "1" ]; then
       for map_file in cm-super-{t1,t2a,t2b,t2c,ts1,x2}; do
          updmap-sys --quiet --nohash --cnffile ${conffile} --enable Map
$map_file
       done
   fi

   You can do the same in %postun

* Don't forget to install the type1ec.sty package file provided in the archive
(in %{buildroot}%{texfonts}/tex/latex/%{fontpkg}/).

* In the tex-cm-super subpackage, you can remove the following Provides:
   Provides: tetex-font-cm-super = %{version}-%{release}
   It was a legacy from the time when TeX packages not part of teTeX where name
tetex-something instead of tex-something nowadays.

These fonts can be used outside the TeX world, as for the LGC ones. So they
should be available to anyone wanting to use such fonts without using LaTeX.

It comes probably from the post-actions automatically added to the font
packages (call of fc-cache). Since these packages contain a huge number of
fonts to be analysed, this may be understable.
