Fine for me, I was just unsure it was intended because I saw this when
checking the log:
Doing post-install jobs from the packages...
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=amstex: BuildFormat on amstex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=context: BuildFormat on context
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=cyramstex: BuildFormat on cyramstex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=cyrtex: BuildFormat on cyrtex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=cyrtexinfo: BuildFormat on cyrtexinfo
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=etex: BuildFormat on etex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=jadetex: BuildFormat on jadetex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=latex: BuildFormat on latex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=metafont: BuildFormat on metafont
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=metapost: BuildFormat on metapost
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=mltex: BuildFormat on mltex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=pdftex: BuildFormat on pdftex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=tex: BuildFormat on tex
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=xmltex: BuildFormat on xmltex
the other EXECUTE commands _are_ executed:
EXECUTE !BuildLanguageDat=ba: BuildLanguageDat on ba
...
EXECUTE !addMap=aifonts.map: addMap on aifonts.map
...
I would suggest to delete the
EXECUTE !BuildFormat=...
lines and to add a message at the end of installation saying that
formats can be created by `fmtutil-sys --all' if needed. Creation on the
fly is best for single-user systems, but on multi-users systems each
user ends up with his own formats in his home directory, I guess most
sysadmins prefer creating them globally.

OK, I'll give another try to the next image.
