Also of note is that mkttfdir from the fttools package no longer works
under Debian/unstable because the perl package it uses (libjcode-pm-perl
and others, I think) does not compile under perl 5.8, which is now the
default for unstable.
I'd really like to see this one get fixed. This bug has been bothering
me for ~4 years.
