Package: fonty
Version: 1.0-23
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3

hello,

the latest upgrade of fonty has overwritten my local settings in
/etc/console-tools/config.d/fonty. It would be better to handle this
file as a configuration file as defined in the debian policy.

The upgrade did not even preserve a backup copy (for example a .dpkg-old
file), it just erased my local settings.

There are several cases where local modifications are required in
/etc/console-tools/config.d/fonty, especially as the debconf
configuration dialog at install/upgrade does not list fonts from other
packages (like fonty-rg). It would be great if that could be improved.
