Just putting files in /etc/texmf/updmap.d is not enough. You also have
to call (as root) update-updmap and updamp-sys. See the section on
font installation in /usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian.*.

You can give
<URL:http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/debian-tex/make-texfontpkg/trunk/scripts/mk-tex-fontpack?rev=3269&view=auto>
a try. I haven't used it for a long time, but I have now just did that
(and fixed a bug in it) and it still seems to work. Syntax is quite
simple:
mk-tex-fontpack <DIR containing fonts in TEXMF structure> <name>
