Ach, I somehow missed it.  Must have moved it, rather than copied it, from there while experimenting.

Nevertheless, that file (mdugm.sty) is NOT put into place by tlmgr, which means \usepackage[mdugm]{mathdesign} fails even if you have the urw garamond font installed.

Therefore there are still two bugs in *something*: (1) the mapfile mdugm.map is not put into place by tlmgr even though it's there in the ctan zipfile, and (2) the file mdugm.sty isn't put into place by tlmgr even though it's there in the ctan zipfile.  I don't know if this is tlmgr's fault or the fault of the packaging-up of mathdesign.

Both of these bugs are totally independent of the fact that one must grab the *font* for urw garamond and manually put it in the tree; this fact is, as far as I can see, NOT a bug, has been that way for as long as I have been using garamond, and I have no problem with it.
