That's really a nice addition to debian, IMVHO. I know that I will use
it a lot.

BTW, I have some questions:

1 - I see that the package is compiled for each architecture. Is this
    really necessary? I thought that fonts would be cross platform.

2 - pts-tetex-cm-super is *quite* smaller than the package that Claire
    once made (which had 60MB). Does it leave anything out that the
    other package had?

I'm slightly busy right now, but I will report back how it works with
teTeX 3 (from experimental). I wouldn't want to go back, really. The
extra packages are quite nice.


Thanks for your comments and feedback, Rogério.
