"This is not a bug in the unifont-bin package per se. It is a bug in the invoked update-fonts-dir shell script. I ran into this same problem while trying to package unifont for the Etch release of Debian. I'll post a reply from the point of view of Etch. I or someone else can follow up later with Ubuntu versions later.
The update-fonts-dir version in Etch will always print a warning if /usr/lib/X11/fonts doesn't exist. The update-fonts-dir man page is also out of date. It gives two options for telling update-fonts-dir that you're installing X11R7 fonts, which go in /usr/share/fonts/X11 (and therefore update-fonts-dir shouldn't be looking in /usr/lib/X11/fonts). Those options are null operations. The update-fonts-dir script ignores those command-line options, then always looks in /usr/share/fonts/X11 *and* in /usr/lib/X11/fonts. I think this bug should probably be closed for unifont-bin, and a new one opened for update-fonts-dir if it doesn't exist already, and if it hasn't been fixed in its latest Ubuntu version.
