It's normally installed:
jmm@galadriel:~$ dpkg -l tetex-base

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,
