Thanks for the report.
You're welcome. I would rate this bug something of higher severity,
since it is unusable, but I guess that important is enough for a package
that isn't in the core of Debian.
egrep ec-lmr12 $(kpsewhere ps2pk.map)
I can't send this right now, but I will do it as soon as possible (say,
about one hour).
My guess is that you have a map file in ~/.texmf-var/ that you haven't
updated since the new lmodern was installed.
Actually, this one I think that I can answer without seeing my computer:
no, I don't have a ~/.texmf* in my home directory.

question is if you really need that map file (ie, you have fonts
installed in ~/texmf), or if it there by accident (calling updmap
instead of updmap-sys).
Well, I didn't install any fonts myself (I never use anything besides
Debian packaged things, unless I know what I am doing and dealing with
fonts in (La)TeX is definitely something that I don't understand as well
as I whish I would).

update-updmap and updmap (with options suitable for your installation).
OTOH, the version of lmodern in testing didn't actually call *-sys and
the base scripts cried out loud to send a bug report to the TeX
developers talking about this issue.
I just ignored this warning, since I saw a quite good amount of talk
about lmodern and some updates of lmodern on packages.qa.debian.org
which seemed to address this bug (at least, for the eyes of a layman).
I tried to compile my text and xdvi complained that it couldn't make
cork-* and the output was simply horrible. Then, I tried to install the
version from unstable, but I didn't get anything better (and then, I
decided to file the bug report).
Thanks for your help, Rogério Brito.
