The perl script is rather slow, but the C-version looks fast enough. I
think the C-version should be faster that the mf runs one gets when tfm
or pk files are created. I haven't made any tests, though.

Indeed. But that goes beyond Debian packaging. I am not sure if this is
more a web2c or a kpse issue. But most people invloved with these are
right now probably busy releasing TeX Live. So this has to wait a little
bit.
