 I ckecked these in ftp-master, but all of these fonts's dependencies
are:

Depends: ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp, xbase-clients (>= 3.3.6-4), xfs-xtt (>> 1:1.3.0.1-3)

No Suggests: line. Please fix :-)

 On the other hand, this Suggests: line is not better, I think:

 Suggests: xfs (>= 4.0.1-3) | xfs-xtt (>> 1:1.3.0.1-3) | xserver


 1) xfs (>= 4.0.1-3) includes freetype engine (xfsft's TrueType
    engine) only, does not include xtt engine (X-TT TrueType engine)
    freetype and xtt is conflicts each other.
    and these font package's fonts.dir (fonts.scale) use TTCap syntax.
    Freetype engine can not handle TTCap syntax.
    So if user would use these font with xfs (>= 4.0.1-3), he should
    not use fonts.scale in this package.

 2) xserver virtual package meens all ofxservers,
    4.0.1's xserver (xserver-xfree86) and 3.3.6's xservers
    (xserver-svga, xserver-mach64 etc etc etc...).
    But X server of XFree86 3.3.6 is not able to handle TrueType font.

 So I think better to modify this line like this:

 Suggests: xfs-xtt (>> 1:1.3.0.1-3) | xserver-xfree86


 One more question. This package uploaded for stable tree.
 These changes are needed for potato?
