That was quick.

Okay. I see that commit on master.
Building again, however, the original problem persists:

    ! Font U/euf/m/n/10=eufm10 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not 
found.

The new texlive-amsfonts/fixed don't need to list eufm10 targets?

Both of those files-differ? invocations do indeed return empty lists for me. As 
a
sanity check, I re-confirmed that the document typesets within a texlive --pure
environment. So what gives?

Is my package definition just missing something obvious?
