Yes. Except that currently, "mtx" is called "prepmx" (/usr/bin/prepmx)
in Debian. Might by a good idea to rename it to "mtx" /usr/bin/mtx),
though. Any objections?

The latest version in Debian is 2.6.15-1 from 2011 (and 2.5.21-1 from
2010 in the stable distribution), you can always check at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pmx.html

Thank you very much, the note was very appreciated! I'm attaching the
proposed changes to Debian's "pmx" and the respective changes from the
latest version in Debian in a patch.
Any objections?
I tried with several shipped example files from mtx and pmx in Debian
and it seems to work well.
Thanks in advance for comments,
Roland
PS: You proposed using the CTAN versions of mtx and pmx when pulling new
versions to be released in Debian. Until now, I preferred the canonical
location at WIMA as the reference source. What do the authors of pmx and
mtx propose?
