Hi Norbert,

On my testing system, the only postinst containing luatools is
context.  There's probably a good reason for this: luatools is the
"ConTeXt TDS Management Tool", specifically for ConTeXt.  So I guess
that all is needed is to copy the context postinst code to within the
run_mtxrun_if_possible function in tex-common postinst; I suggest that
it goes within the if [ "$do_it" = 1 ] block, as mtxrun and luatools
are both within the same package (context), so after running mtxrun
(line 126 of tex-common.postinst), have the additional block (within
the same if [ "$do_it" = 1 ] test):

      tempfile=$(mktemp -p /tmp luatools.XXXXXXXX)
      printf "Pregenerating ConTeXt MarkIV format. This may take some time... "
      if luatools --make cont-en > $tempfile 2>&1 ; then
        rm -f $tempfile
        echo "done."
      else
        exec >&2
        echo
        echo "luatools --make cont-en failed. Output has been stored in"
        echo "$tempfile"
        echo "Please include this file if you report a bug."
        echo
        exit 1
      fi

Best wishes,
