Hmm, I've misunderstood the Uni3-* font then. Seems that it doesn't cover
all the glyphs of d-i languages and it's a more-in-one font, rather than an
all-in-one (which I thought so). At this stage, Lat15-* seems to be the
right choice for Turkish. Am I get it right?

I'm testing it at the moment. It looks very promising. BTW, I've found a
few glitches (the second one prevents me to install it properly):
* Typo in the filename: debian/copiright
* Missing ';;' in case statement
