This bug affects all packages that use dh_installxfonts and not just gsfonts-x11. The reason why it doesn't show in Debian is because there was never a version of update-fonts-dir that does not understand the --x11--r7-layout option.
The best solution would be, as suggested by Roland, a versioned Depends added by dh_installxfonts and a rebuild of all xfonts packages.
