Unfortunately, this is a real mess, a real real real mess currently. My
X not even starts without intervention (I filed already some bugs). I
really expected that the transition to xorg-7 will work better, but as
it happened it is a disaster. Unfortunately.
I guess we leave it like it is and as soon as the X disaster has settled
I will do some test. I am doing them already with cm-super where I did
the same transition anyway.

Again, it is hard to say whether the fonts are found, as not even
"fixed" is found on my system without manual intervention.
So bottomline: Let us leave this open of now and wait. I guess there are
no urgent uploads of lmodern which need this reverted.
I hope this is ok for all here.
Best wishes

CLABBY (adj.)
A 'clabby' conversation is one stuck up by a commissionaire or
cleaning lady in order to avoid any further actual work. The opening
gambit is usually designed to provoke the maximum confusion, and
therefore the longest possible clabby conversation. It is vitally
important to learn the correct, or 'clixby' (q.v.), responses to a
clabby gambit, and not to get trapped by a 'ditherington' (q.v.). For
instance, if confronted with a clabby gambit such as 'Oh, mr Smith, I
didn't know you'd had your leg off', the ditherington response is 'I
haven't....' whereas the clixby is 'good.'
