As the example posted shows, tea doesn't look better, it generates
nicely-looking collisions, too.

No, but xfree nowadays comes with a lot of fonts because it stupidly makes
a copy of about each and every font in each and every encoding, leading to
many font files in the bitmapped category (75dpi and 100dpi).

I also have some other debian packages that install their fonts there, but
it should be less than 10 extra files.

I'd suggest getting rid of reiserfs on anything important. I can't have it
when my filesystem randomly returns errors when it should be working.
I wonder wether this hasn't any security relevance, as it allows attackers
easily to create filename holes in the filesystem that even root cannot
override.
Thanks for the suggestion, though! However, the workaround I currently use
(delete the dir, reinstall) works better, as it doesn't destroy debian's
idea of the filesystem layout.
