http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=update-fonts-dir says update-fonts-dir is in the xfonts-utils package, and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=xfonts-utils certainly isn't complaining about a lack of maintainer. Ah, I see the confusion - you're looking at the BTS page for "update-fonts-dir". That will indeed tell you there's no maintainer listed and not to file bugs against it, but it also includes "[t]here is no record of the update-fonts-dir package". The reason there's no record of the package (and therefore no maintainer of record) is that it's not a package - it's a script in the xfont-utils package.
