[tex-live] #! Map ... in updmap.cfg

I'm trying to figure out why the texlive font packages in Fedora
don't properly create entries in psfonts.map and pdftex.map when
they are installed. Immediately after installation of, say,
texlive-ebgaramond,

grep EBGaramond `kpsewhich updmap.cfg`

returns

#! Map EBGaramond.map
Map EBGaramond.map

that is, the relevant map file is both disabled and enabled.  But

grep EBGaramond `kpsewhich pdftex.map`

returns nothing; that is the relevant entries are *not* created.

If updmap-sys is then executed, the relevant entries are created.

The posttrans script for the package executes

/usr/bin/updmap-sys --syncwithtrees 

The --syncwithtrees option looks wrong to me in these circumstances.
Am I right?
