It's just the copyright file of tetex-base. And this one is "woeful",
cf. #218105. I'm working on this (actually I'm waiting for an answer by
James, whether he accepts my approach). For the time being, you have to
figure it out yourself - I recommend starting with
/usr/share/doc/texmf/help/Catalogue/alpha.html.

We could add here too the names I suggested for xfonts-tetex.

... the afm and pfb-files... is correct?

I didn't inspect this closely, but it seems to me if this is right,
there is a bug in debhelper, isn't it?

What's the second $ for?

He's taking out the contents of tetex-extra-fonts.files from
tetex-extra.files. One could of course use grep -v, like above.
