Interesting (presumably this has nothing to do with the /bin/sh thing,
which is reassuring). The installation log (dpkg's messages) would be
even more interesting.

Maybe the unpack order can make font files appear in an unexpected place
if a package installs a symlink /path/to/foo and another package that is
unpacked later installs files such as /path/to/foo/bar/baz. But I think
the opposite order would give a dpkg error ("trying to overwrite ..."),
so I doubt it can be the explanation (and that would probably have been
noticed earlier). Just what comes to mind from what you described...
