Source Mage Fans,

Are there any TeXperts in the neighbourhood?  I have a spell for a TeX 
font, initials, that I use almost working.  At the moment I'm doing the 
last bit of the install by hand.  To finish the install I need to add Map 
entries to /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg, which belongs to the 
tetex-texmf package, then run updmap-sys.  What is the best way to add 
entries to an existing config file.  I suspect I should be verifying that 
the entries I'm trying to add arn't already in the file.  After updating 
the above file by hand and running updmap-sys, cleanse complains about 
several files from tetex and tetex-texmf that were changed.  For now I've 
copied tetex and tetex-texmf to my local grimoire and added the following 
volatiles entries:

for tetex:

/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_t1.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_pk.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/ps2pk.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/download35.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/builtin35.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_ndl14.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_dl14.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_dl14.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_ndl14.map$
/usr/share/texmf-var/web2c/updmap.log$

and for tetex-texmf:

/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg$

Which makes cleanse happy.  Should the above volatiles entries be added to 
the official tetex an tetex-texmf spells?
