I'm pretty sure mkfontscale belongs in xutils, but if it doesn't, mkfontdir
should really be punted to xbase-clients. The difference between the two is
that xutils is just random crap that doesn't require client-side X libraries
(you can do it without libXau/libX11/et al installed), and xbase-clients are
base X clients (i.e. they require X client-side libs). Having xutils depend on
xbase-clients would be pretty counterproductive, thus. I'll work out the proper
fix for this one tonight and roll it into my post-preview upload.

xorg (6.8.2-4) hoary; urgency=low

  * Fix additional security vulnerability in Xpm's bitmap_unit checking
    (closes: Ubuntu#7433, fdo#1920).
  * Remove mac-usb- prefix from d-i keyboard mappings before we run our
    detection routine (partially mitigates Ubuntu#7138).
  * Move mkfontscale from xbase-clients to xutils, as it does not depend on
    client-side X libraries, and mkfontdir from xutils was entirely reliant
    on mkfontscale (closes: Ubuntu#7391).
  * Add Swiss keymaps, thanks to Sylvain Pasche (closes: Ubuntu#7482).
  * Update i810 driver from HEAD, which now finally has support for validating
    modes against DDC ranges, and supports panels on pipe A (closes:
    Ubuntu#5864, Ubuntu#6973).
