This is good. Of course the compatibility cruft will be removed with TeX
Live 2007 entering Debian, but only then.

As said, not for etch. We will probably prepare and upload of
experimental, and as soon as etch is released (hahaha, it seems all soo
common to me, TeX Live, Debian, release problems ...) we can move the
new lmodern to unstable (and new testing).
Hans: One question: Do you have an idea why on my PC with texlive2005
Debian packages with lmodern 1.0, no additional stuff installed, but
with the latest context, I can run a document and get the math right,
with the cmr fonts. I thought the lmr MATH fonts are compulsory now?
That was the whole discussion about?
Ie, if the lmr math fonts are not found, does context automatically take
the cmr math fonts?
Best wishes
