no, the authors changed the names just before tex live was frozen and 
therefore it shows up in all related distributions

- change in map/enc names of lm fonts
- change in map/enc names of antykwa, iwona, kurier
- some changes in names of other files in antykwa, iwona, kurier
- removal of u* files
- probably some more things

since fonts are a sensitive area this means that it can effectively 
render a distribution useless;

the difference between latex/context is that (1) context had adapted 
those fonts early and has support in its distribution, while latex 
depends on the files that ship with the font zips and (2) that some 
metrics are maintained by latex related users and therefore changes get 
unnoticed for us
