Thanks for testing!

While this is going to be fixed in xfonts-tipa, I still think there is 
a bug in xfonts-utils, too:

# apt-get install debsums xfonts-encodings xfonts-utils
# update-fonts-dir --x11r7-layout encodings
# debsums -s xfonts-encodings
debsums: missing file /usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings/encodings.dir (from xfonts-encodings package)

I'm therefore cloning this bug for xfonts-utils.
