Thank you for this work! Just one critical comment:

+Depends: tetex-extra-fonts, ${misc:Depends}
+Description: TeX-Type1-fonts for XFree
+ This package contains a collection of soft links sitting in
+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ and pointing to the respective font
+ files provided by a separate package.

I think this description is too technical, and there's some information
missing for an ordinary user. I would suggest something like:

Description: TeX-Type1-fonts for XFree
 This package makes it possible to use some Type1 Postscript fonts in
 XFree. The fonts are originally distributed with the teTeX distribution
 and include Bluesky Computer Modern, URW Standard Postscript Fonts,
 Hoekwater symbol Fonts, Omega Unicode Fonts, and Euro symbol fonts.

Questions/remarks:

- is it correct that Omega fonts are encoded in Unicode?
- we could also drop the last line and simply add a ", among others". 

Regards, Frank
