Not a solution, but an observation as a fairly ordinary user who recently
upgraded hamm->slink, using dselect/apt.  The name change didn't cause any
problems ONCE I had worked out what was going on.  As far as I am concerned, a
good release note (perhaps mentioned in an xbase-postinst) and BIG warnings in
the Description fields for the xfonts- packages would have been sufficient to
make the upgrade perfectly smooth in practice.  Not technically perfect,
perhaps, but enough to keep this dumb user happy!
