Because the tfm files are shipped with the respective tex packages.
Without them these fonts are useless for TeX. Other font packages will
provide their own tfm files, and they don't need to depend on any tex
package at all.

Well, they are there for Mickael to get them and make an upload. If you
want I can continue providing the packages from there.

Will we see pfb2t1c2pfb in debian soon? I hope to get rid of the perl
t1c2pfb.pl completely in the cm-super package with the next version.
