You are correct. My original implementation was messed up in this respect and the person who wrote dh_installxfonts copied my mistake. This problem in fixed in the XFree86 xfonts-* packages but not, apparently, in dh_installxfonts. > What do I misunderstand at all? Nothing yet. :) > And one more question.

See version 3.2 of the Debian Policy Manual for an explanation of why packages don't need to edit the XF86Config file. -- G.
