That reminds me, the reverse dependencies should be checked to see if
they have hardcoded font paths, if they do then you need to add
symlinks in the transitional package to the new locations. You should
also file bugs asking them to switch to the new package name and move
to using fontconfig or the new font location. I have written a
template for these bugs:
