It seems you weren't that successful:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/tex/mathpazo-type1
:-(
Is there anybody on the ubuntu-science list who would be interested to
look after TeX related packages in Ubuntu? I am part of the Debian TeX
task force and I was sort of surprised how
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/tetex-base/+bug/36145
was handled. In Debian this bug was marked as release critical and fixed
at about the time the bug was reported in Ubuntu. But nothing happend
there. Similar for other bugs against teTeX packages. There are trivial
bugs, bugs with simply wrong information in them, ... But nobody seems
to be interested in this. Or take auctex, a critical package for anybody
using TeX together with Emacs: The version in Ubuntu Dapper is really
old. Via backports.org I am using a more recent version on Debian Sarge
(released one year ago!).
We from the Debian TeX task force don't have the time to look after
these bugs in Ubuntu ...
