Well, you could do that, but the "appropriate tool" would be "apt-get --reinstall install tetex-base", since the relevant code is only in the preinst. However, this will only have the effect that those files are removed. It's easier to just delete them - they are just copies of what is now in subdirs of /usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/map/dvips/ and below /var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/.
I tried the reinstall, and now I have /etc/texmf/fonts/map/dvips, as expected. I expect this might even improve how fonts work on my system.
Thank you very much for your help. Please let me know if I can be of any addtional assistance.
