at least some failure happened (and to me it looked like the same)
I had the fmtutil logfile included as well in the tarball, in case of discrepancies

# In Debian, fmtutil.cnf is a file that is generated from
# configuration files in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/. This file, 00tex.cnf,
# contains only some comments on how to edit these files.
#
# The text of the comments is Copyright 1998, 1999 by Thomas Esser, it
# is in the Public domain.
# You Customize these file to your needs, e.g.
# - remove or uncomment formats that you don't need
# - add your own formats
# - change default engine / flags for standard formats
# Some notes:
# 1) tex and amstex just load hyphen.tex. No customization.
# You can have you own customized (via babel's hyphen.cfg)
# formats on top of plain by using "bplain.tex" instead of
# plain.tex (see e.g. bplain.ini file for bplain format).
#
# 2) etex loads language.def, not language.dat.
#
# 3) The symbolic link to the right engines (e.g. bplain -> tex)
# will be generated by the "texlinks" script. So, if you call
# fmtutil "by hand" and not via texconfig, please also call
# texlinks afterwards.
#
# 4) usual comments start with "# ", whereas disabled configurations
# start with "#! " in this file.
# The format of the table is:
# format engine pattern-file arguments
# The last part of "arguments" must be the name of the file to run
# initex (or another "ini"-engine) on.

tex-common wants
1) to become the owner of the path /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-math-extra.cnf
2) that nothing exists at that location
* tex-common will not ship /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-math-extra.cnf
* tex-common will Breaks: texlive-math-extra (<< 2017)
* tex-common.maintscript will have
rm_conffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-math-extra.cnf texlive-math-extra 2017~
(not sure about the last version of texlive-math-extra in the archive, << 2017 should be sufficient)
I'm quite confident that will work as expected, but I would still try it before uploading :-)
