Debian currently has: TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/,}map//;$TEXMF/dvips// What about this? I am not completely convinced about it since with updmap we generate input file for all the different programs.
one may assume that by now indeed most trees are tds compliant (for context users there is textools --fixtexmftrees)
The second part, $TEXMF/dvips//, is a Debian-specific
backwards-compatibility hack to allow fonts to be found that install
their map files according to the old (teTeX 2.0) TDS. We should drop it
as soon as etch is out, and we should probably have done that even
earlier. The first I don't quite understand, we actually have:
% TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/map,}/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/,}map//;$TEXMF/dvips//
This looks like we dropped the program-specific paths (and with that
their order), and like it wouldn't have been necessary to add a hack
(but I know that at the time of the teTex-3.0-beta-release when I
introduced it it *was* necessary).
