I suggest just adding the override and not worrying about this right now,
since the entire world of X directory structure is going to change once
X11R7 and the modular tree hit unstable.
My guess is that the eventual fallout of that will be that X fonts can be
installed in /usr/share. It's probably not worth modifying lintian in the
meantime.
