Actually, I tend to agree (as mentioned in my previous message, this is the simplest way to resolve the situation); I'm thus closing #752235 (the second step of the stage1 conversion). OK, so what do you think about the patches in the following branches: https://gitorious.org/roam-debian-bootstrap/xfonts-utils-debian/commits/roam-font-util https://gitorious.org/roam-debian-bootstrap/xfonts-utils-debian/commits/roam-no-font-util The first one is supposed to convert the repository so that it builds only font-util; of course, you're free to ignore the changelog entry commit, it's there just because I couldn't build the package with d/changelog and d/control disagreeing about the source package name :) The second one removes the parts that build and install font-util from the current repository, keeping the xfonts-utils source and binary package name. In both cases, I've not done anything to the upstream branch or the now-unneeded source directories, since I'm not familiar with the procedures of the Debian X Strike Force group in such cases. Thanks again for your time and consideration!
