I think this problem is fixed in unstable, because I didn't see it there
when preparing the last packages.

The lmodern package doesn't ship anything in these directories. This
warning is most probably generated by this snippet at the beginning of
/var/lib/dpkg/info/lmodern.postinst:

,----
| # Automatically added by dh_installxfonts
| if which update-fonts-dir >/dev/null 2>&1; then
|         update-fonts-scale Type1;update-fonts-dir --x11r7-layout Type1
| fi
| # End automatically added section
`----

If you want to be 100 % sure, simply replace the 'set -e' line at the
top of that file with 'set -ex' and reconfigure lmodern (e.g., with
'dpkg-reconfigure lmodern').

My guess is that upgrading X to the version in unstable would probably
make the warning disappear...
