Hi Taco, hi all!
I am trying to fix all the problems for Debian ...
Another thing Taco wrote was:

This change I have executed in the tex-common depot, it will not hurt
anybody.

Debian currently has:
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/,}map//;$TEXMF/dvips//
What about this? I am not completely convinced about it since with
updmap we generate input file for all the different programs.
For Taco: I have NOT installed the dvipdfm map files, only those from
fonts/map/pdftex/context and fonts/map/dvips/context
Furthermore I have added all the maps in fonts/map/dvips/context to the
updmap config file and called updmap-sys.
So now I can call texexec on several documents without any problems and
all the fonts are found.
What is the problem with
- removing the dvipdfm maps
- generating lines for dvipdfm(x), pdfetex, dvips from the dvips config
files as done by updmap-sys
It would be great if we could straighten this out and get nice packages
for Debian rather soon.
Best wishes
Norbert
