Ah, the new files locations, I forgot..:-) Indeed, as of now, the packages are renamed, but the locations are the old ones (unless I missed something in Fabian's changes as we were doing changes at the same time). Sure, if we move the files around, we'll need to provide compatibility symlinks, particularly for freefont because of the use by games (does it happen often there that paths are hardcoded?). I wonder what package should provide the symlinnks: the new one or the transitional one?
