Dear TeTeX maintainers, here are some suggestions to improve the cm-super package; comments welcome. If you like my suggestions, I could provide a patch. I'm no expert Debian packager though, perhaps I would need some help. * The archive /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/cm-super.t1c could be emptied by the postinst script to save disc space. Perhaps the archive could be moved to /usr/share/cm-super/cm-super.t1c, as the archive itself is not a font and therefore does not really belong to the font directory. * I contacted the maintainer of the old debian stuff of the cm-super package at ctan, and he is willing to update the original package. He suggested to make the package suitable for both tetex 2 and tetex 3, i.e. the package detect the tetex version at installation time (i.e. by evaluating the output of dpkg -l tetex-base) and generate symbolic links for encoding and map files in the /usr/share/tetex tree accordingly; my suggestion for this would be to put the real files to /usr/share/cm-super or so. Greets, Klaus
