OK...

Not me... not enough time. But given that Branden asked it to the
gsfonts-x11 maintainer, such a request should have some weight.

Your call. I won't deal with those obscure bug reports. ;-)

The solution with package.links and only one dh_link process as
described in other posts is also a good one. I never use package.files
myself because I want to set myself the permissions in debian/rules
(using install/chown/chmod, even if I call dh_fixperms later to be sure)
but package.links is pretty safe IMHO. Symlinks are always 777.
