No no, not the latest. It's the other way around! The dependency on this
file is stablished since 2007, right after I added it to unifont in an NMU.
The version currently in testing provides unifont.hex, but 1:5.1.20080808-1
does not.
If 1:5.1.20080808 migrates before unifont.hex is included, it will cause
breakage in existing grub2 packages in Lenny in case they are recompiled.

If unifont.hex is added back for -2, I have no objection in using it for
Lenny. But please let me know when it is uploaded so I can test it.
