So in the meantime, the new libxft2 moves into testing, except it doesn't
work with the libfreetype6 in testing... and unstable's libfreetype6 can't
move into testing due to the multitude of bugs filed against it.

Wow... this should be fun.

And, of course, we have the new libfreetype6 maintainer, who uploads this
apparently broken version to unstable and then goes into hiding.
