What are the features you are missing?

ashwork:~$ dpkg -S psfonts.map
tetex-base: /etc/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map
tetex-base: /usr/lib/texmf/dvips/base/psfonts.map

However, the thing that makes it work for *me* are the following lines 
in /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps:

| % Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of
| % bitmap fonts for computer modern & co.
| p +bsr.map
| % p +bakomaextra.map % "real" bakoma instead of interpolated bsr
| p +bsr-missing-interpolated.map % this one *or* the previous one. Not both!
| p +hoekwater.map

Here, /etc/texmf/dvips/bsr.map has the magic lines:

cmb10 CMB10 <cmb10.pfb
cmbsy10 CMBSY10 <cmbsy10.pfb
[...]

HTH,
  Colin
