Tagging this as moreinfo. For this report to be actionable, it would
require to dig those old versions and try to reproduce it, not sure
whether these are in snapshots.d.o, otherwise maybe generating them
from their source package, which might be challenging, could be an
option…

 Upgrading from 4.2.1-15, ( working system) to 4.2.1-16 and now 4.3.0-1 I  
 found the X server didn't find fixed font, and I found it's because  
 the unpack procedure leaves in every /etc/X11/fonts/subdirectory  a file  
 called xfonts-.alias.dpkg-new and the cmd update-fonts-alias
 doesn't work with it.I don't know if the prob is dpkg or X packages.

  I am using Debian GNU/Linux sid , kernel 2.6.2 plus some from  
 experimental.

I know this happened long time ago, but do you happen to remember if
you diverted those conffiles? Otherwise it could be that some other
package diverted those, but that'd be a bit more difficult to research
at this point in time.
