Sure, but these are presumably different fonts. The closest thing to a
font family name that I can infer from the contents of bluesky/cyrillic
is wncy. apt-cache search finds nothing matching that and a grep on
the Contents-i386.gz from sid only shows tetex-extra (of course) and
tex4ht, which ships two wncyr.htf files.

Well, every variation contains:
  - a glyph with the euro sign drawn on top of a series of lines which I
    think are used to define the official euro sign;
  - 3 glyphs with the two short horizontal lines that "strike" the euro
    sign (in 3 different lengths), so that you can compose (with a
    virtual font, for instance) your own euro sign from these and a C
    glyph took from wherever you want;
  - a simple euro sign.

There are two unusual variations where the glyphs are "emptied" (only
their contour is drawn)...

Ah, and the glyphs are not named appropriately: the euro glyph is named
"e" in these fonts, although there is a place for "euro" in the Adobe
Glyph List...
