In essence, they are incompatible with tfm-arphic-*. The reason is
that the tfm-arphic-* packages are created with ttf2tfm, which is the
old way how TFM files were generated, and MakeTeXPK would then call
ttf2pk to create the PK fonts. Now Fontforge is used to create the
TFM and Type1 (.pfb) fonts. LaTeX uses the TFM to calculate the space
needed by every glyph. The actual output (xdvi, dvips, dvpdfm(x),
pdflatex) uses the Type1 fonts according to the
{bkaiu,bsmiu,gkaiu,gbsnu}.map files.
The latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-* packages do not provide the TTF: at
build time, it uses the TTF provided by the Debian packages.
Including them would be a waste of space, and extra hassle because I
would have to UUencode them, making the whole even bigger. =)

Interesting. I didn't really know what architecture I had to use, and
it seemed reasonable to me to use "any". The Debian source package
"cjk" needs to compile a few programs, so I suppose that it's "any" or
"i386".
As far as the font packages are concerned, yes, perhaps arch:all
would be a better choice indeed. I'll change it for
latex-cjk-chinese-arphic and latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab. Thanks for
the tip.
And while I'm at it, I've changed the flavour from "unstable" to
"experimental" in both font packages, just as I did already for the
"cjk" source package.
An upload of the updated font packages won't be for today: it takes a
day to compile and perhaps meanwhile I could add some further
updates.
