    PLEASE FORWARD TO UPSTREAM (its not realy a Debian thing)

In the Resource file we have:

The problem is now to start XTerm with a desired font size since the
option "-fn" or "-font" is marked as deprecated and using it will
automaticaly switch the "scalable" font in the menus to the font given
on the commandline which will have undesired results (VERY BIG SIZE).

What I like to see is an option, which keet the two above resource
settings for normal and unicode fonts sizes but let the $USER choose
with which size (1 to 6) to start.

This has the benefit if the resource ".XTerm.vt100.utf8: 3" is used
since I can run XTerm with whatever locale I have choosen without
changing the font (normal/unicode) manualy.

Example:

Currently, if I choose ".XTerm.vt100.utf8: 0" or "-u8" and I want to
set the XTerm to a specific font size:

    -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

but now if I want to runn XTErm wirh an iso8859 locale and the same font
size I have to use

    -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15

which is realy anoying

A better solution is definitivly to set up the desired 

    .XTerm.vt100.utf8Font
    .XTerm.vt100.font

and use only for example

    xterm -fontsize 4

for example, which mean, XTerm will determiner which locale (normal/
unicode) I use and choose the right registry and encoding.

Closes: 401726 404111 405043 406502
Changes: 
 xterm (224-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     + fix build for GNU/KFreeBSD (closes: #404111).
     + undo a comparison in handle_translated_exposure which did not work
       due  to  X server optimization. That caused the inner border to be
       repainted  with  unexpected  colors when handling a repaint, e.g.,
       after  switching to/from another workspace (closes: #401726).
     + allow  -cr option to override cursor color when -ah option is used
       (closes: #406502).
     + add  a  note  in  xterm's  manpage explaining that the -bw (or -w)
       option  is  only  used  by  the  window manager, if at all
       (closes: #405043).
   * Refresh patch 901_xterm_manpage.diff.
   * Change my email address in debian/control.
