They are already in experimental for quite some time, and will go to
unstable soon.
What I meant: Soon teTeX3 is in unstable, the only distribution where
also cm-super is.
So I see two options:
* make the depend on tetex versioned >= 3
* add some hacks for tetex 2
Frank et al., what do you suggest with respect to cm-super. In fact I
think the former version is ok, as for tetex2 people can use the old
package. I orginally had the versioned depend, but someone (Ralf?)
suggested to make it work also with tetex2, and he told me it did work
(strange, did he change the texmf.cnf file?).
So since cm-super is for teTeX3 and TeX live, I tend to making the
depend on tetex versioned >= 3.
Objections?

cm-super is for unstable with tetex3, otherwise you could use the old
package.
