And it is difficult to identify the missing package, since it is not
given as {depends,recommends,suggests}.

- From the output of
$ dpkg -L xfonts-mathml
xfonts-mathml provides the files
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/Symbol.afm
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/Symbol.pfb
that appear to fix it. I have not verified if uninstalling
latex-xft-fonts breaks anything, but would not expect so.
Cheers,
Johannes
