We’re generating these map files based on the contents of the profile.
We’re using a profile hook for this.

We don’t use that file because it contains *everything*; instead we
generate it in a profile hook so that it only contains entries that
correspond to what has actually been installed.

Yes, it should.

When I do

   guix shell -C texlive-base texlive-inconsolata

I see that
$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/share/texmf-dist/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
contains entries for the inconsolata fonts.

(The profile hook depends on texlive-base.)
