Yes.  I'm tracking tetex development (as was Jerome), for the obvious
reasons.  These packages fix a number of more important bugs, I think;
and I'll repackage any newer release.

What package?  In general, I don't like the idea of bundeling packages
downstream.  Want another package too?  Add another package.  Note
that I also de-bundled psutils.  There was a request/bug report about
that, so packaged it separately (unmaintained).  Haven't heard
anything about it, of course.

Which bitmap fonts do you refer to?  The bluesky type1 fonts are
available.
