Package: fonty-rg
Version: 0.6
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.6

The 'utf8' and 'iso' scripts included in fonty-rg use 'consolechars'
command which is not provided by any Debian package, even in jessie, as
the 'console-tools' package was removed from Debian in 2013 (see #671342).
Nevertheless in 2015 fonty-rg started recommending the removed package 
as a fix for #487514.  (Another, unreleated, issue is that the suggested 
'fonty' package is not in Debian either, see #474125).

In my opinion both 'utf8' and 'iso' scripts should be:
 - either removed together with their manpages (or maybe replaced 
   with some documentation in README.Debian explaining how to enable
   fonts from the package?),
 - or rewritten to use console utilities from the kbd package.

Regards,
robert
