1. I have never used anything but rxvt-unicode-lite, so I have no opinion
   on the differences between rxvt-unicode vs rxvt-unicode-ml.

2. Personally, I have Xft installed on all my systems anyway, so I
   wouldn't mind too much. But on the other hand, I only use bitmapped
   fonts in the console, and I think that those who want Xft can install
   rxvt-unicode.

To sum up my opinion, keep three packages, and keep Xft out of -lite.
