So I think this > is a non-issue. That would be a reason not to package xfonts-100dpi at all, right? I was using xmessage and xlsfonts to debug. The actual affected program was xvile. I can imagine users running into this problem with xterm as well. Should I reassign this to xfonts-100dpi where it can be ignored until someone has time for it, or to debhelper (dh_installfonts) which is probably the right place to fix it?
