I solved the second issue (font problems)...see below:

I think the package is inconsistent somehow, because it 
doesn't remove cleanly on my case sensitive system:

dpkg - warning: while removing texlive-texmf, directory 
`/sw/share/texmf-dist/source/latex' not empty so not 
removed.

and that contains

mist:/sw/share/texmf-dist-162# ls source/latex/
0 ./  0 ../  0 pagesLTS/

which contains

mist:/sw/share/texmf-dist-163# ls source/latex/pagesLTS/
   0 ./    0 ../    4 pagesLTS.drv  216 pagesLTS.dtx    8 pagesLTS.ins

Anyway, this isn't causing me any problems that I know of...

Turns out it isn't deactivated in the distribution, but any 
updmap.cfg elsewhere on the system will overide the 
distributed one.  I thought the one in /sw/etc/texmf-config 
was also installed by the package, because it had the same 
date.  But dpkg-S shows that it isn't, so it must be 
generated or updated by the install.  And it stays around 
even after removing texlive.  So I removed it, and 
/sw/etc/texmf.local (and all local user copies), and 
reinstalled texlive.  It regenerated /sw/etc/texmf-config 
(and texmf.local), and magically, the updmap.cfg in it now 
has the correct fonts activated...

More importantly, all the font errors and warnings I've been 
getting for the past few months have gone :)

I do not generally mess with my tex install, I have no idea 
how I ended up with that incorrect updmap.cfg.  Maybe the 
original order things were installed was texlive before all 
the fonts were installed??

Anyway, I'm now happy, and hopefully this will help anyone 
else similarly afflicted by latex font issues.
