So these encodings files were originally shipped in xfonts-base. The
encodings.dir is just one of the files which would conflict, although with
the new location I don't know if we'll actually see the other conflicts
directly.

I'm not sure why upstream decided to split the encodings out from the
fonts, but I'd rather stick with their decision. We already violate this
with the rgb database and the bundling of apps, so it's not a huge deal to
merge xfonts-encodings back with xfonts-base, but I'm not sure what we'd
gain by doing so. 

I think that the replaces line is probably the best option, so I'll make
that change now.
