I've packaged cm-super.  I'm having a couple of conffile-related
issues I want to try to resolve before uploading the packages, but
it seems to work ``right out of the box'' with teTeX 2.0.  (It's
dependent on teTeX 2.0 because we have a script that builds the
updmap.cnf file from component files in that release.)

I'm also thinking about doing a separate package with the AFM
files.  (At the moment I'm not packaging them.)

That sounds good.  I may look into the defoma thing a bit more on
my own, but my main concern is to get the fonts working with TeX.

I'll let you know when I've uploaded the package(s).
