Can't setFont(Times-Roman) missing the T1 files?

Well, this was rather me forgetting a python-imaging dependency - I
(wrongly) assumed that python-pil would be sufficient.
Note that python-imaging is only a compatibility package. It would be
better to port biopython to the new PIL API.
So any idea how to get ".pfb for face 'Times-Roman'" found by
reportlab
[…]
Unfortunately the result remained the same. I somehow came to the
conclusion that the problem is caused by a broken reportlab package
I came to the same conclusion. I've attached what seems to be a minimal
test-case:
$ python test.py
Warn: Can't find .pfb for face 'Times-Roman'

If I understand correctly, reportlab is trying to use non-free Adobe
PostScript fonts, which (unsurprisingly) doesn't work on Debian systems.
It should use the substitutes from the gsfonts package instead.
