When using xdvi or dvips, MakeTeXPK would make the necessary PK fonts. The newest version of latex-cjk depends on Type1 fonts and doesn't need any PK fonts. However, several of these old PK fonts are still in ~/.texmf-var/ (or perhaps even /var/cache/fonts/). This causes the LaTeX process to fail. If I could point you to bug #406701 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406701), where a user had problems processing a CJK LaTeX file because he had such remnants in ~/.texmf-var/fonts/. I've written a note about this, in tempore non suspecto, in the README.Debian in latex-cjk telling users to remove these PK fonts, but I'm afraid few people actually read it. cjk-latex doesn't have a huge user base ATM, so I could probably deal with individual bug reports. But a more structural solution would be preferable. Perhaps writing a debconf warning with big fat red exclamation marks for packages which have to deal with old PK fonts?
