Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.35
The postrm snippet for xfonts in
/usr/share/debhelper/autoscripts/postrm-xfonts currently consists of:
if [ "$1" != "upgrade" ] && [ -x "`which update-fonts-dir 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
#CMDS#
fi
The check for $1 == upgrade is a problem; it means that, if a package is
upgraded and the new package no longer includes fonts in a directory that
was installed to by the old version of the package, nothing takes
responsibility for cleaning up the fonts.dir, fonts.scale, etc. files for
the old directory.
An example of this is, of course, the reorganization of font directories for
the X11R7 transition, but the issue applies to any situation in which a
package might continue to exist but no longer ship fonts in a particular
directory (e.g., a package intended to provide fonts for a certain language
ships font files in 75dpi and 100dpi directories in one version, and
replaces them with Type1 fonts in a later version).
Bug #366948 results from gsfonts-x11 not handling the updating of the old
fonts.dir files on upgrade to xorg7. This clearly needs to be handled now
by gsfonts-x11 in the maintainer scripts of the new version since there's no
way to retroactively update the sarge version of the package to clean up
after itself, but for the future I think it would be best if
dh_installxfonts didn't ignore packages that are being upgraded.
Cheers,

Description:
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
Closes: 301424 372686
Changes:
debhelper (5.0.37) unstable; urgency=low
.
* dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>
The kernel version is guessed at based on the path to the modules in the
package. Closes: #301424
* dh_installxfonts: In postrm, run the deregistraton code even on upgrade,
in case an upgrade involves moving fonts around (or removing or renaming
fonts). Closes: #372686
