Actually, I tend to agree (as mentioned in my previous message, this is
the simplest way to resolve the situation); I'm thus closing #752235
(the second step of the stage1 conversion).  OK, so what do you think
about the patches in the following branches:

https://gitorious.org/roam-debian-bootstrap/xfonts-utils-debian/commits/roam-font-util

https://gitorious.org/roam-debian-bootstrap/xfonts-utils-debian/commits/roam-no-font-util

The first one is supposed to convert the repository so that it builds
only font-util; of course, you're free to ignore the changelog entry
commit, it's there just because I couldn't build the package with
d/changelog and d/control disagreeing about the source package name :)

The second one removes the parts that build and install font-util from
the current repository, keeping the xfonts-utils source and binary
package name.

In both cases, I've not done anything to the upstream branch or the
now-unneeded source directories, since I'm not familiar with the
procedures of the Debian X Strike Force group in such cases.

Thanks again for your time and consideration!

G'luck,
Peter
