Which makes me wonder if there are other such cases... > If possible, the stub xorg-x11-fscl package should be amended to pull this > package in on upgrade. I disagree. In order not to defeat the purpose of modularization, the stubs only select a bare minimum upgrade path (if anything) instead of everything the old package once contained. If you do otherwise, then xorg-x11-bin-dlls would have to select all 20+ libraries, xorg-x11-devel all the libdevel packages, etc., and I don't want to go that route. OTOH, if a package explicitly requires a particular font (either in code or in the app-defaults), then it should be added as a dependency to that package. > It's worth double-checking I've done the packaging correctly.

Since this is already in Debian etch, I'll proceed to upload. Please send an announcement to cygwin-xfree-announce. Thanks!
