I'm replacing my default fonts by transcoded ones now ... Went smoothly but

mrmime:~# apt-get remove xfonts-100dpi
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  lopster xfonts-100dpi
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 23  not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 6544kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
mrmime:~#
  
'cause lopster depends on xfonts-75dpi | xfonts-100dpi

Shouldn't xfonts-100dpi-transcoded provide xfonts-100dpi ?
