I have here debhelper version 5.0.34bpo1 installed. In this version
dh_installxfonts looks for directories in

	my $XFONTDIR="$tmp/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/";

and adds the dependency

	addsubstvar($package, "misc:Depends", "xutils", ">= 4.0.3");

According to the chagelog this has been done on perpose:

,----
| debhelper (5.0.34bpo1) sarge-backports; urgency=low
| 
|   * Rebuilt for sarge.
|   * Reverted changes in dh_installxfonts for modified font directories in
|     unstable.
|   * Removed -tudeb from dh_shlibdeps.

`----

It looks as if the only change required for a backport to sarge is to
create the links in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 again.
