Thanks again that you clarify this for me.
Robert probable already knows these things already anyway :)

As I wrote that `hopefully buillds use lenny version' I even forgot that
he already said we just upload binaries for amd64 and i386 which has the
font.
Luckly there's now a new unifont-bin which includes it again.

I forgot even -proposed-updates.
So the buildds are just using the enviroment the packages was uploaded
for.
There has to be a reason why stable|testing -proposed-updates does
exist :)
This really makes sense to me now
so thanks again to you.
