This is not correct for Debian packages. Debian package maintainers that
want to make fonts available to X should read Policy § 11.8.5 which
mandates the use of update-fonts-{scale,alias,dir} from xutils.
dh_installxfonts can be useful too.
(I'm working on it for the lmodern fonts; defoma registration is already
done and X support should be available soon)
