Well, I think Debian will have to remove the graphics API (or at least
this file) from their BOINC source package. Which isn't *that* much of
a problem, since for quite a while they have been repackaging the
source to remove CUDA stuff anyway.

But back in November 2009, the gNewSense distribution removed BOINC
completely from their repositories due to texfont.C:

I should let them know that this single file or even the whole api/
directory can be safely removed without technical consequences to the
client...

I wouldn't hold my breath. This is what happened trying to get Mark to
cooperate about GLUT:
