It's not automatic. You should be relatively safe with the default install. However if you start adding fonts manually, it seems that a few uncommon fonts already provide enough entropy to make you unique among a million of visitors. (Happened to me when I tested my configuration on panopticlick.) Try for yourself. (Though at the moment panopticlick is under maintenance.)

Did you already some research in upstream's bug
tracker or did you file a bug report by yourself there?

I've done no research upstream and only filed with Debian.

Cheers, Thiemo
