I have no idea why this one symlink was absolute; I'm guessing the
package did that, because if I'd touched this bit of configuration, it
would only have been to *enable* bitmap fonts.  (This would have been
before the WMF did their "typography refresh"[1] on wikipedia and
friends, where they try to choose fonts by name that will work on every
platform -- which, naturally, fails catestrophically on many systems,
because some good fonts share names with bad ones.  Except I'm not sure
I had the system in question at that time.)

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the bugscript produced before I ran
dpkg-reconfigure ...
