Okay.

Hm, asamples.tex runs fine here, and uses sarabian.sty which is also in
texlive-fonts-extra:
$ latex asamples.tex

So it seems strange that the file is not found on your system. Is it
there?
However, I did find a problem: While pdflatex produces a PDF file that
displays without an error in acroread, xpdf and gs, latex/dvips produce
a PS file that gives lots of errors from gv.

You originally asked whether you can help us packaging tl 2007, if I
remember correctly. If have problems with large download volumes, you
can do something else: Follow the mailing list and answer to bug
reports, if you think you can help. Just asking more specific
questions, or trying to reproduce a bug, is already much help!
Thanks for your interest,
Frank
