You can find the packages here:
  deb http://chinese.alioth.debian.org latex-cjk/
  deb-src http://chinese.alioth.debian.org latex-cjk/

More precisely, install the latex-cjk-thai (and latex-cjk) package.
You will find /usr/share/doc/latex-cjk/examples/thai.tex, which needs
to be compiled with an Emacs Lisp script.  You will find the result
attached as "thai.cjk".  Run "latex thai.cjk" and a DVI file will be
construed.  "dvips -Pnorasi -Pgaruda thai.dvi" will work without
problems.

Edit /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10latex-cjk-thai.cfg and comment garuda.map
and norasi.map.
Run update-updmap and updmap-sys, and run "dvips -Pnorasi -Pgaruda
thai.dvi" again. dvips will complain that it can't find the .pfb
fonts.

In effect, dvips tries to search for "ftnr8z" (e.a.), while I have
clearly redirected it to "<norasi.pfb" (e.a.) in the .map files.
Extract of norasi.map:
  ftnr8z Norasi " C90Encoding ReEncodeFont " <c90.enc <norasi.pfb

So dvips recognises the config.* files, but it looks for the name in
the first argument, not the last argument.
ftnr8z (e.a.) are used because the TFM files that CJK uses are
incompatible with those that "thailatex" uses.


Strange thing is that dvips botches when the map files are
commented, but works when they are not commented.


Kind regards


P.S.: should all files be installed in /usr/share/texmf or
/usr/share/texmf-tetex?  CJK is already included in upstream TeXlive.
