Who else thinks that this part of texlive-base's %preinstall is not really such a hot

I'm... really impressed by how vile that scripting is. It breaks if homedirs are
auto-mounted or NFS mounted with rootsquash, if home directories are mounted at a
different base directory, it does nothing for /root/.texlive/, it can screw up
environments with NFS mounted directories on multiple operating systems, etc., etc., etc.
A little shell script of "upgrade-fmt-files' would be vastly safer for
individuals as needed.
