Because they say I know English, but it's only a malicious rumor. I
probably meant "settled". Just for fun:

Hum. I can see that for xutils 1:7.0.0-3 (xutils -> xfonts-utils ->
xfonts-encodings), but I fail to see the same for xutils 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
and xutils 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1. Am I missing something?

Done. (#369510)
