Package: xfonts-jmk
Version: 3.0-10
Although postinst now calls update-fonts-dir and update-fonts-alias
correctly for xorg 7 (following resolution of bug #362383), these
tools look in /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/$wossname for alias files when passed
--x11r7-layout, not /etc/X11/fonts/$wossname. It looks like updated
font packages are installing their alias file in both locations.

I'm fairly sure that no changes to xfonts-jmk were strictly necessary, but
just in case, now that a new debhelper is out that also does the right
thing with aliases in the /etc/X11/fonts location, I've uploaded a new
version with a tighter dependency on debhelper.
Thank you for the report!
