Yes. Two bugs here. First, mkfontdir should be invoked as
system('mkfontdir', ...)
which is acceptable because perl's system() will honor path. This is a
better option, IMHO, than adding further package relationships to enforce it
to be found in one directory or the other.
The second bug is that x-ttcidfont-conf is only looking in either the new or
the old directory for encodings.dir files, but has no dependencies which
ensure either set are present. This can be fixed in one of three ways:
adding a dependency on xfonts-base and only passing the old encoding paths;
adding a dependency on xfonts-encodings and only passing the new encoding
paths; or passing both the old and new encodings paths without an explicit
dependency.
I don't have any idea what these encodings.dir bits are used for, so I can't
make a recommendation between the first two options vs. the last one.
