Sarge will come with teTeX-2.0.2, and we will not update any of the
files in it (it is simply not feasible to test the interaction of such
partly updates with the rest of the system). teTeX-3.0 will be released
soon (which means: within weeks, probably in January), and is yet
available for Debian in form of experimental packages. 3.0 will of
course contain an up-to-date version of PSNFSS, and we will try to
provide easy means of creating backports for sarge.

I am not a font expert, excuse me. However, I can tell you the general
ways to do things like that. If you create subdirectories below
/usr/local/share/texmf that correspond to directories below
/usr/share/texmf, and put single updated files there, these newer files
will be used instead of the ones provided by Debian (you need to call
texhash after installing them). Again, I'm not a font expert - I cannot
tell you _which_ files you have to update, or which you _may_ update
without interfering with the other parts of PSNFSS.

Maybe you can ask this on a TeX-related mailinglist or newsgroup?
