Rogério,

It's not a question of "in time for sarge's release". The next upstream
teTeX version will contain the lmodern fonts, but not
cm-super. Therefore the cm-super fonts will never be part of teTeX, and
if you want them in Debian, you'll have to find somebody to package
them. The lmodern package (now a separate package) could be a good
starting point for adaption to cm-super.
