It's normally installed:

jmm@galadriel:~$ dpkg -l tetex-base
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

It does exist and there are no dpkg upgrade backup files:

jmm@galadriel:/etc/texmf/map/dvips/tetex$ ls -lha dvips35*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 8.0K Jan  8  2005 dvips35.map

To which symlink are you referring?

jmm@galadriel:~$ ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov 27  2004 /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips

The directory only contains a pfr.map file.

I only have a rather high level understanding of TeX. What does
dvips35.map contain? What would a modification indicate, the manual
addition of a font?

Cheers,
