Of course. I took advantage of the fact that the packages do not yet exist
in the official archive to fix it the right way so it could be accepted.

Sorry about that. I have two directories (one for sarge, and one for sid),
and it only got updated in one of them. It should be fixed now.

No, just oddities in the way the ming makefiles have evolved.

It something that can be looked into further.

Been working on that. I almost have a new implementation of ttf2fft that can
be built with current freetype. This new version will be a part of the ming
package to avoid an additional Build-Depends on a package that doesn't exist
yet. Once that's done, ming-fonts will be easy to add, and will contain an
even larger set of fonts.
