Bug#197154: Subject: It will be more convenient if xutils.postinst setups the font directories



Package: xutils
Severity: wishlist

Now all font packages depend on xutils and invoke
update-fonts-{dirs,alias,scale} by themselves.  Thats why packages
providing Type1 fonts (as gsfonts and scalable-cyrfonts) have to be
doubled -- one version for defoma and another for X.  If xutils cares
to setup the font directories properly there will be no need to double
these font packages.  There can be only one version which depends on
defoma and invokes update-fonts-* _only if_ these commands are
installed.  In that case if xutils gets installed latter it cares to
setup the font directories.

I decided to split scalable-cyrfonts as type1-cyrillic, type1-teams
and type1-oldslavic.  For now these packages depend on xutils but it
would be nice if I could remove this dependency.
