Done.

Not exactly. The pfb files created at runtime would be written to
VARTEXFONTS. No package should install any files there. And the .tfm
files needed for cm-super are stored there anyway, as they are created
via mktextfm from the Metafont sources. The latter are also stored in
VARTEXFONTS, since they are created via mktexmf. Hence something like
ecrm1000.mf is not under dpkg control. If we can live with that, I would
say we could also live with unregistered .pfb files in VARTEXFONTS.
