At the moment there is a switch
    --extras=t-module1name,t-module2name

the following quick-and dirty patch should enable you to use
    --extras=mathdesign

But then you need to convince Hans to apply the patch (or maybe
improve it before that):

if extras and type(extras) == "table" then
    -- fetch the list of available modules from rsync server
    local available_modules = get_list_of_files_from_rsync({"modules/"})
    local available_fonts   = get_list_of_files_from_rsync({"fonts/extra/"})
    -- hash of requested modules
    -- local h = table.tohash(extras:split(","))
    for _, s in ipairs(available_modules) do
    --  if extras == "all" or h[s] then
        if extras.all or extras[s] then
            scripts.update.modules[#scripts.update.modules+1] = {
format("modules/%s/",s), "texmf-context" }
        end
    end
    for _, s in ipairs(available_fonts) do
        if extras.all or extras[s] then
            scripts.update.modules[#scripts.update.modules+1] = {
format("fonts/extra/%s/",s), "texmf" }
        end
    end
    -- TODO: check if every module from the list has been added and
issue warning otherwise
    -- one idea to do it: remove every value from h once added and
then check if anything is left in h
end

No, it was a mistake. I had a "fonts/*/public/mathdesign" in pattern,
but mathdesign is not under "public" in TeX Live. Either I didn't test
it properly or TeX Live has changed their location, but the first
option is way more probable.

I have a feeling that some other font has been requested recently, but
I don't recall which one/who wrote that (I don't find the mail any
more).
