Re: font directories?

[Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>]

I've done a minor mass-bug filing (85 bugs) on packages that still use
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. I hope that I captured everything that needs to be
done to transition:

 * Modify rules or Makefile to install the fonts to the new directory.
 * Build-depend on debhelper version 5.0.29, which supports the new font
   location.
 * Make sure that the package depends on the new xfonts-utils package.
   (dh_installxfonts will automatically add this to misc:Depends)

AFAICS anyone trying to do a partial upgrade involving X fonts will probably
just be screwed. :-/
