Not good.

Yes.

Yes.

The generated files that need to be adjusted to the packages actually
installed are

	updmap.cfg	tlpdb execute addMap, addMixedMap, addKanjiMap
	fmtutil.cnf	tlpdb execute addFormat
	language.*	tlpdb execute addHyphen

  TeXLive::TLPOBJ::language_dat_lines;
  TeXLive::TLPOBJ::language_def_lines;
  TeXLive::TLPOBJ::language_lua_lines;

  used by

  TeXLive::TLPDB::language_dat_lines;
  TeXLive::TLPDB::language_def_lines;
  TeXLive::TLPDB::language_lua_lines;

  used by

  TeXLive::TLUtils::create_language_dat($tlpdb,$dest,$localconf);
  TeXLive::TLUtils::create_language_def($tlpdb,$dest,$localconf);
  TeXLive::TLUtils::create_language_lua($tlpdb,$dest,$localconf);

  used by tlmgr.

Probably easier to look into the three files, understand the format, and
write the code in Python yourself. But the above (TLPOBJ) functions give
the proper way to format the files.

> Aren't fmtutil.cnf and updmap.cfg automatically created? Like I have been

Well, yes, by tlmgr. But you have to do this as distribuor in a
different way since tlmgr is not called.

Yes, that should happen also for the above language.* files.

Yes, hooks for the languages files needs to be created.

(BTW, I mentioned this already before that these files also need special
treatment ;-)

All the best, feel free to ask if something is unclear.
