On further consideration, I think changing debhelper is useful as well. We have the following kind of packages: - uses misc:depends: will get a versioned dependency on xfonts-utils, works as good as now (except there is some dependency in getting stuff into testing, but well) - depends on xfonts-utils but doesn't use misc:depends: This package will be slightly broken when installed on a not fully upgraded machine. In case xfonts-utils is changed in a way that on upgrade the stuff is inserted in the right directory anyways, I don't mind about the temporary breackage - especially as only affects half-broken packages, and it doesn't happen in stable - depends on xutils and doesn't use misc:depends: This package is broken now and might fail to install on half-upgrades, and will be less broken later.
