etch? Actually I thought you uploaded v0.35 such that it should have
inherited v0.34 urgency. However, v0.34 migrated to etch after v0.35 was
uploaded. Strange ...

To check this, I think the output of
kpsewhich --expand-braces=\$TEXFONTMAPS | tr ":" "\n"
is more interesting though quite long.
$ kpsewhich --expand-braces=\$TEXFONTMAPS | tr ":" "\n"
.

BTW, what was the rationale behind looking into TEXMF/map?
After changing TEXFONTMAPS I get:

I haven't spotted any directory that would be missing with the new
definition. There is, however, the disadvantage that for progname=dvips
the old location TEXMFT/dvips comes quite early. I am not sure how
serious this is.
I don't know if double slashes in the middle of the path or three or
four slashes at the end can confuse kpselib, but one can avoide them
with
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF{/fonts/map,}{/$progname,/pdftex,/dvips,}//

Strange, I thought I has seen that in teTeX, too. But even TeX Live 2005
has a slightly simpler TEXFONTMAPS:
% font name map files. This isn't just fonts/map// because ConTeXt
% wants support for having files with the same name in the different
% subdirs. Maybe if the programs ever get unified to accepting the same
% map file syntax the definition can be simplified again.
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//

ACK. I don't think it warrants a new upload, though.
