I was searching on CTAN a while ago and found there the structure to
build a Debian package out of the CM-super-fonts. (in the subdir for
cm-super is contained a subdir debian). The author is Péter Szabó
(pts <at> fazekas.hu). I don't know if he's an official Debian
developer, but maybe you should contact him for cooperation.
