That could indeed be the reason of this bug: "rou" is a Mandarin
Chinese syllable, written in Pinyin romanization.
@Ralph + fellow Debian TeX maintainers:
If I set it to 20 instead of 10, will this be enough?
Or would 99 be better? The Debian TeX Subpolicy 4.1.2 doesn't mention
a numbering scheme.
However, section 4.1.1 does give an example with "10name.cfg".
Perhaps we should preserve "10" for all the basic TeX packages, and
use 20 or higher for the other packages?
It may not be so important for fontmap files, but it is for
hyphenation.
