Pretty sure Ubuntu uses /usr/share/fonts/X11 as well, they rebuild most
of the Debian packages with no source changes.  It looks like dapper
(6.06) used X11/fonts, but IIRC the path was changed when modular X made
it into Debian.

In any case, +1 from me for using ${datadir} instead of ${libdir} for
fonts.
