What happens if a user removes console-tools-data after having installed
svgatextmode? Does that break your package?
Also, I don't think it's possible to have files installed conditionally
unless you actually *create* them in your postinst script, like
a "here document". This doesn't seem to work with fonts well.

oversized.
