The new source package fonts-urw-base35 ships a dummy package
gsfonts-x11 now, which depends on fonts-urw-base35, which does the
same as gsfonts-x11 did before.

So if someone upgrades from the old gsfonts-x11 to the new dummy
package, everything should work as before until the dummy is removed,
which will try to uninstall the package depending on gsfonts-x11.

So removing the old gsfonts-x11 package shouldn't hurt until we remove
the dummy package from the archive.

I'll file bug reports against these three packages, requesting to
replace the dependency on gsfonts-x11 with one on fonts-urw-base35 (or
some alternative to both of them).

Except this I'll ask the maintainers of gcc-3.3 why they have a build
dependency on gsfonts-x11, which (from my point of view) is only
useful for X11 desktop systems and doesn't make much sense in a build
dependency...

From my point of view removing gsfonts-x11 source package from
unstable does not matter, since the gsfonts-x11 dummy package still
exists.
