Do I understand correctly that we're not supposed to do anything, but
just wait until fontforge is fixed?
Hm, I'm wondering: Although lmodern's readme says
,----
| The package consists of the files in the directories conforming
| to the TeX Directory Structure (v. 1.1), splitted into three archives:
|
| lm2.003-bas.zip -- basic set; the directories contain:
| [...]
| lm2.003mt1.zip -- Latin Modern source font files for the METATYPE1 package
`----
The Debian orig.tar.gz doesn't seem to contain the source archive's
contents. I'm not familiar with font generation, but it seems to me
that, in order to be able to generate corrected Type1 files with a fixed
fontforge version, we would need the contents of lm2.003.mt1.zip, e.g.:
$ ls fonts/source/public/lm/lmr10*
fonts/source/public/lm/lmr10.mp fonts/source/public/lm/lmr10.mph fonts/source/public/lm/lmr10.mpm
fonts/source/public/lm/lmr10.mpg fonts/source/public/lm/lmr10.mpl
$ cat fonts/source/public/lm/lmr10.mp

Does that mean we have one more RC bug, namely that the sources are
incomplete? debian/copyright says:
The following TeX Live packages were downloaded from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/
and merged into one orig.tar.gz file:
lm.tar.xz
lm.doc.tar.xz
lm-math.tar.xz
lm-math.doc.tar.xz
These are files prepared by TeXLive, not the original lmodern
authors. In this directory, there is an additional lm.source.tar.xz
file. It seems to me we should include its contents, too, shouldn't we?
Does the same apply to TeX-Gyre?
