Puuuh, I have honestly forgotten all that stuff. Probably best is to
look into svn/lmodern/trunk/debian/rules, let's see what we find:
For plain X we need a
texlive-what-bin-package.scale
in lmodern we create that from the defoma-hints file, see there.
Also from that file we create a
texlive-what-bin-package.fontlist-x11
Then we have to set up links, because X11 neets the fonts and I mean
.pfb and .afm files in the same place. So eg putting all the links into
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/.
Then we have to copy the .scale file to /etc/X11/fonts/Type1 and call
dh_installxfonts, and also dh_installdefoma.
Loads of things to do. And anyway to late for lenny. So probably we
start that when we are going to package 2008 (which I am currenty
doing).
But PLEASE if you can work in that direction, please do so!!!
Best wishes
Norbert
