This file should be generated by running updmap in the postinst (of both
tetex-base and tetex-bin) - and if that fails, the postinst should
fail.  You don't, by chance, have backups of the old psfonts_t1.map
and/or of the updmap log file - either as
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.log, or /tmp/updm*?  If you have some of
these, please send them - but only the old ones that produced a buggy
psfonts_t1.map is of any use.

Regards, Frank
