The update-gsfontmap is indeed run in a post-install script, in the one
of the ghostscript package. It should get run on every change in the
directories /etc/ghostscript/cidfmap.d/ and /etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/
as other packages than ghostscript, for example font packages, could
drop files here. Indeed the files in /etc/ghostscript/cidfmap.d/ come
from the poppler-data package. I could not determine which package(s)
hold the actal fonts though.

Title:
  ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts

Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I reported this bug first with ghostscript
  (http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695874), but it is
  apparently a packaging issue.

  The general issue is that when there is a CIDF font in a .pdf that is
  not embedded in the document, ghostscript will stop processing the
  file at that font (see the file attached to the ghostscript bug).  The
  packaging issue is that CIDF fonts that are not on the system are in
  the default Ubuntu cidfmap file.

  System info is:

  $ lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.10
  Release:        14.10
  Codename:       utopic

  $ ghostscript --version
  9.14
