Well, it doesn't seem that easy :

su
dpkg -i pkg -i telecharge/tex-common_4.02_all.deb
[...]
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... 
updmap-sys failed. Output has been stored in
/tmp/updmap.8bKZ6ZOw
Please include this file if you report a bug.

Sometimes, not accepting conffile updates in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
causes updmap-sys to fail.  Please check for files with extension
.dpkg-dist or .ucf-dist in this directory

(I have no /etc/texmf/updmap.d directory)

2012.20120611-5

Version 2013.20130520-1 is available but requires uninstalling a lot 
of texlive packages so I didn't dare upgrade.
