OK, so please split the files off into a separate package!
I guess the ${shlibs:Depends} from debian/control can be dropped
after removing any arch dependent files.
In http://www.alezan.org/debian/pts-tetex-cm-super_0.3.3-7_i386.build
I see some lintian warnings:
W: pts-tetex-cm-super source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token
debian/postrm
W: pts-tetex-cm-super source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token
debian/postinst
E: pts-tetex-cm-super source:
package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper 3
W: pts-tetex-cm-super: binary-without-manpage t1c2pfb.pl
E: pts-tetex-cm-super: shell-script-fails-syntax-check ./usr/bin/t1c2pfb.pl
I guess the first three can be fixed easily.

Well, that should be all. IMHO the next step could be to upload the
separated pfb2t1c.c and t1c2pfb.c, let that package conflict with
pts-tetex-cm-super <= 0.3.3-6 and wait until it made its way through
the new packages queue.
