Package: xfonts-unifont
Version: 1:5.1.20080706-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

If I had the old unifont binary package installed, attempts to
install this one fail, since of course both packages contain
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/unifont.pcf.gz (and nothing much else).

The new xfonts-unifont needs appropriate Conflicts/Replaces
dependencies to allow it to take over smoothly.
