Yes, this was considered, but as I explained on:

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-tetex-maint/2004/debian-tetex-maint-200401/msg00183.html

we need the LM fonts for sarge but cannot wait for a new teTeX
incorporating them and reasonably roll it into unstable before the sarge
release (perhaps it will happen that sarge releases in 6 months, I don't
know! But to make it happen earlier, all maintainers of important
packages must act as according to a faster schedule; otherwise, there
will always be at least one important package that is not ready and
delays the release).
