The main idea is that a future version of the package will no longer
ship the compatibility links but only this script so that users can
create them their self. See the archive for the details.
I am, however, surprised that it still writes to /usr/local. I though I
had changed that, as it won't work that way. Currently the script
creates simple symbolic links 'cork-lmr10.tfm -> ec-lmr10.tfm' etc.
These have to be in the same directory as the real TFM files, ie, below
/usr/share/texmf. This is, of course, a bit unfortunate, as lmodern
would not unistall cleanly after creating the links. It would be fairly
straightforward to create absolute links from /usr/local. What do you think.
