Didn't receive anything (yet ;-).

I'm not a native English speaker, but I would write: "the AFM and PFB
files". Depending on how the description is rewritten, it could also
very well boil down to "the metrics and glyph files" or something like
this.

Exactly (perhaps only in its manpage: I didn't even try the
${misc:Depends} to see if it would put the "wrong" version for the
dependency). I didn't report this because I was lazy, but I will do so
sooner or later (if not already reported)...

Make will eat it (remember debian/rules is a Makefile...).

Perhaps he's meaning to do so, but he's not doing so. At the time the
sort is performed, tetex-extra-fonts.files is a subset of
tetex-extra.files. Having them both as arguments to the sort is no
different than having only tetex-extra.files. tetex-extra.files will get
sorted and uniq'ed, great. That's all. Or am I mistaken?
