+
+  * Restore and update the old xfs.options.5 manpage which got lost
+    during the monolothic/modular transition. It might still help
+    since the maintainer scripts still look at the corresponding
+    config file. Closes: #364587.

+.TH xfs.options 5 "2004\-11\-04" "Debian Project"
+.SH NAME
+xfs.options \- configuration options for the X font server
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I /etc/X11/fs/xfs.options
+contains a set of flags that determine some of the behavior of the X font
+server
+.BR xfs (1).
+.PP
+.I /etc/X11/fs/xfs.options
+may contain comments, which begin with a hash mark (\(oq#\(cq) and end at
+the next newline, just like comments in shell scripts.
+The rest of the file consists of options which are expressed as words
+separated by hyphens, with only one option per line.
+Options are enabled by simply placing them in the file; they are disabled
+by prefixing the option name with \(oqno\-\(cq.
+.PP
+Available options are:
+.TP
+.B restart\-on\-upgrade
+.B Enable this option with caution on \(oqproduction\(cq machines;
+it causes the
+.B xfs
+daemon to be stopped and restarted on upgrade.
+This will break all existing connections by X servers to the font server,
+and as a result may deprive them of access to fonts.
+In some situations this could be an unwelcome surprise (for instance, for
+remote
+.B xfs
+users who had no idea the administrator was performing system maintenance).
+On the other hand, for machines that stay up for long periods of time,
+leaving the old daemon running can be a bad idea if the new version has,
+for instance, a fix for a security vulnerability (overwriting
+.BR xfs 's
+executable on the file system has no effect on the copy of
+.B xfs
+in memory).
+This behavior is disabled by default:
+.B xfs
+will be not be stopped or started during an upgrade of its package; the
+administrator will have to do so by hand (with
+.B invoke\-rc.d xfs restart
+or by rebooting the system) before the newly installed
+.B xfs
+binary is used.
+.PP
+Since no options are enabled by default,
+.I /etc/X11/fs/xfs.options
+is not created automatically.
+.SH AUTHOR
+Branden Robinson customized
+.BR xfs 's
+package maintainer scripts to implement the functionality described above.
