Bug#360055: libxft2 must be downgraded to stable's 2.1.7.1-1 for testing to be usable

[Olivier Berger <olivier.berger@int-evry.fr>]

Package: libxft2
Version: 2.1.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


When will the issue with libxft2 be considered seriously so that testing
becomes useable without downgrading libxft*.dev to stable's versions ?

(More details on issues in #350113)

It has been around in testing for weeks now, and nothing seems to have
changed considering the existing bug reports...

Is someone taking this one seriously ?

Thanks in advance.
