[gentoo-user] tetex 3.x - how does /etc/texmf/updmap.d/ work?

[Stroller]

Hi there,

Portage recently upgraded me to tetex-3.0_p1-r3, and natrually it  
h0sed the changes I'd made to my systemwide updmap.cfg file.

Now I find the main tetex-3.x fontmap file to be /etc/texmf/updmap.d/ 
00updmap.cfg, which seems like a funny name. That would imply to me  
that, following the conventions of other distros' /etc/init.d/ files,  
if I place a file 99mymap.cfg in the  /etc/texmf/updmap.d directory  
then it will automagically be loaded after 00updmap.cfg. However  
doing so does not seem to work.

Am I far off-base in my assumption, please?
What is the "correct" way for me to add fontmaps to my Tetex  
installation on a systemwide basis, please? I would obviously prefer  
them to be remembered next time emerge upgrades my system.

Stroller.
