Well, that sounded like a good plan.  But I've hit a snag.  If I do the 
above /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg, which was installed as part of 
tetex-texmf, gets recorded in my font spell's install log.  If I dispel my 
font spell, it removes /usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg completely. 
Should I perhaps handle the updates to web2c/updmap.cfg in my spell's 
FINAL so that it doesn't appear to touch web2c/updmap.cfg?
