We discussed this shortly when the directory was introduced. To be
accurate, its name in the tetex 3 packages is
/var/lib/tetex/debian/fontmap-cfg/. The idea for the "debian" part was
to avoid a possible conflict with a hypothetic future fontmap-cfg
directory shipped by upstream tetex. But I have no strong feelings about
that. If everyone finds that ugly and useless, it can be changed. Now,
it won't cause any trouble since very few packages use this
infrastructure. Later, renaming will be more difficult.
