------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To sum it up: xfonts-100dpi-transcoded is available in all Ubuntu versions
*except* Dapper Drake, the same is true for xfonts-75dpi-transcoded;
xfonts-base-transcoded is available only in the two oldest Ubuntu versions.
Moreover, xfonts-base-transcoded, xfonts-100dpi-transcoded, and xfonts-
75dpi-transcoded are mentioned in the description of the corresponding
basic packages as complementary parts of the respective xfonts-*
packages in Dapper. Consequently, the situation with the missing
xfonts-*-transcoded packages could be regarded as a *breakage* in the
whole xfonts-* package array (leading to problems with the bitmap font
display in certain applications such as EMACS, for example), and a
simple update request would be more appropriate than a backport call
(note that these packages have been available not only *after*, but also
*before* the release of Dapper Drake).
An additional argument for requesting a update is IMHO the fact, that
the xfonts-* packages are tagged as "supported".
