Up to now my policy is as follows:
If there is already a font package in debian *AND* it provides superior
support to teTeX/TeX live than the one included in the texlive-
packages, I will blacklist the respective fonts in texlive and depend on
the font package.
For now I have done this on the cm-super package.
As soon as lmodern is ready, I will do the same for lmodern.
What other font packages do you have in mind? For all those which are
working with TeX live packages, I could remove the conflicts part, after
some testing.
Best wishes
Norbert

MEATH (adj.)
Warm and very slightly clammy. Descriptive of the texture of your
hands after the automatic drying machine has turned itself off, just
damp enough to make it embarrassing if you have to shake hands with
someone immediately afterwards.
