I think I've fixed this, I put a package up for testing at
http://people.debian.org/~jcristau/xfonts-utils_7.5+1~thep1.dsc
I haven't tested that this works properly, and I don't know when I can
do that, so any help would be welcome (install that package, purge it,
install a font package using the patched debhelper, etc).
It's also in the debian-unstable branch at
http://git.debian.org/?p=users/jcristau/xfonts-utils.git
Thanks,
Julien
