Thank you for reminding us of this bug - it's not good to not react on a
bug report for such a long time.
One reason might be that the Debian tetex maintainers aren't very good
with regard to font handling. As far as I understood, dvips does use
type1 fonts as soon as they are installed and made known to it. In tetex
2.0, this is done by a different mechanism than in tetex-1.0.2, to which
the original bug report refers.
Could you please provide a minimal example document that uses type3
fonts on your system?
Regards, Frank
