Ubuntu 13.10 is delivered with LilyPond 2.16.2 built using a Metapost
version of 1.802.  Consequently, all the included fonts look like crap.

Of course, this was sort of predictable.  Would we have been in time if
we had immediately created a backport of the configure patch and named
the result 2.16.3?

I have no idea.

Can everybody using Ubuntu 13.10 and seeing this problem (a loopy treble
clef and incomplete flags) please mark this issue as affecting him?

This can seriously affect LilyPond's reputation.  Anybody putting
together a comparison of various typesetting programs under GNU/Linux
will more likely be using this version than any other.
