See also cm-super in debian/sid, which provides a variant of this,
although much more simple.

This is what I did for generating the fonts.scale

I did install the files into /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts..., as I don't see
what makes a big difference in installing the fonts or only links. Other
font packages also install there. What would you suggest? Installing all
into /usr/share/fonts/type1 and making links to /usr/X11R6/lib/...

BTW, you can fix the lintian warnings with a lintian override file.
