i)   You should try to get over the 'Synaptic is the only interface to
package' syndrome. It limits your ability to use your system to the fullest.

ii)  E.g. consider http://packages.debian.org/ which has the handy shortcut
http://packages.debian.org/file:path for the search for paths ending in the keyword.

iii) This was another question for r-sig-debian, not r-help

iv)  You want the texlive-font-utils package as per ii) and
     
http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=ttf2afm&mode=filename&suite=unstable&arch=any
