Hi,
I am closing this bug.
You need to install xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi to run xboard. But it's also
possible to run xboard without xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi installed. So it
doesn't make sense to add them in Depends. Recommends is enough.
For example, if you run ssh -X on a system with xboard installed and no fonts
available, xboard works if you have fonts in your system.
See http://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-depends-on-an-x-font-package.html for
more information.
Best Regards,
Vincent
