The second one is rather logical. The default uses selfautoparent,
which is completely inconsistent with the remaining of the 
packaging.

For TEXMF, $TEXMFSYSCONFIG is better without !!, such that even
if the user doesn't run mktexlsr his config files are taken into 
account. Otherwise I have put !!$TEXMFLOCAL before our directories
such that the user additions are taken into account.

I wanted to say like in the texlive Fedora package (xdg-utils, 
htmlviewer...)

Ok. What about:


 if [ -d "%{_datadir}/ghostscript/`gs --version| cut -d . -f 1-2`/Resource/CMap"
] ; then
  cmap_dir="%{_datadir}/ghostscript/"`gs --version| cut -d . -f
1-2`"/Resource/CMap/"
elif [ -d "%{_datadir}/ghostscript/Resource/CMap" ] ; then
  cmap_dir="%{_datadir}/ghostscript/Resource/CMap/"
fi
if [ z"$cmap_dir" != 'z' ]; then
  pushd texmf/web2c
  %{__sed} -i 's?^CMAPFONTS = .*?CMAPFONTS =
.;$TEXMF/fonts/cmap//;'"$cmap_dir"'?' texmf.cnf
  popd
fi

Once again config files under the packager/upstream control
should be in %{_datadir}/texmf..., those under the user control should
be in /etc/texmf...

In the case of texlive-texmf context.cnf fmtutil.cnf texmf.cnf updmap.cfg
should be under the packager/upstream control, but the user should 
be able to put his own files in /etc/texmf/web2c to augment/override
the package files.

And mktex.cnf should be in /etc/texmf/web2c under the user control,
with %config(noreplace).

Ok.

I will do later, I am still learning about those 
utilities/scriptlets and still trying to understand what/when to run
them.
