I have fixed a fair bunch of lintian warnings. However, my attempts to 
shut it up about the plugin SONAMES always ended up in package breakage.

At least the plugin packages contain file conflicts that I have no 
intention to sort out. Since the plugin packages are not 
co-installable, why should the corresponding fontends be?

I tried to get this sorted out a bit. It should be safe to upgrade 
from what we previously had to the current state without problems (not 
sure about d-m.o, though). Please try out and report.
