What version of xfonts-utils are you using when you run into this
problem? As far as I can see, there are only 1.0.6 versions available
in Debian and Ubuntu (in any release), which should not trigger this
issue.
The solution would be to modify debhelper, which adds the dependency on
xfonts-utils using ${misc:Depends}. The current version (including
5.0.37.3) adds a dependeny without versioning.
I don't think that it is necessary to fix debhelper in this point
because there is no version of xfonts-utils available that doesn't
understand the --x11r7-layout parameter of update-fonts-dir, neither in
old releases nor in current test releases. So it's a "alpha testing
only" problem, which is already solved.
