I just stumbled over this bug with a new installation of Sid:
grace6 generates symlinks to non-existent fonts and then fails 
to start. In my case, it is 

/usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1/LinLibertineU-Re-2.2.5RO.pfb 
->  /usr/share/fonts/type1/linux-libertine/LinLibertineU-Re-2.2.5RO.pfb

I purged grace6, linux-libertine, ran
/usr/sbin/defoma-reconfigure, reinstalled linux-libertine,
ran defoma-reconfigure, reinstalled grace6 - and this broken symlink is
there again!

So, ok, this is perhaps a defoma problem or a problem of some fonts package.
(Any hints welcome!)
But no other application I know responds in this way to a missing font 
(especially, a font it will presumably never use). 

These symlinks to fonts in /usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1/ 
- is this really a good idea? What happens when I install/remove/update 
fonts *after* installing grace6?
