http://master.debian.org/~joey/3.0r2/ :
Regular bugs and upgrade problems don't get fixed in new revisions
for the stable distribution. They should instead be documented in the
Release Notes which are maintained by Rob Bradford
<mailto:robster@debian.org> and are found at
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/releasenotes.
I'm afraid even if anybody prepares a new version for pxfonts Joey
will refuse to put it into 3.0r2. Should we contact him and ask if
he'll do so?
In that case we have to go the dirty way: fix it in tetex-bin or
document it in the Release Notes.
