My justification is that you should file bugs against any package that install fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TrueType and attempts to use mkfontdir. The package(s) should be using mkttfdir instead. You can use "dpkg -S usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TrueType" to identify the packages that install files into that directory. The files /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE.postinst should indicate what program is being used to update the font directory data. -- G.
