I did this because witht the old packages of tetex (prior to the move)
it was *not* possible to move the map files to
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map as this was already a link to /etc/texmf/map!
I tried it first, it died, of course.

Well, then we can move the files straight.

But there are still the updmap with -sys etc. What do you think, does
the combination of these things allow an NMU?
Ok, how to continue with tipa?
