Binary package hint: fontconfig

When Hardy/Karmic users with Japanese environment upgrade to Lucid,
Desktop fonts are unexpectedly-using bitmapped/Traditonal Chinese.

This is regression of UX/Desktop.

How to reproduce:
   1) Install Karmic or Hardy with Japanese languages.
     ( or, install with other langs,
       "System" -> "Administartion" -> "Language Support" ->
         set "Japanese" to first at 'Language for menus and windows:')
   2) Upgrade with "update-manager -d"
   3) When upgrade completed, your desktop is render with bitmap-fonts.

Actual result:
   - Desktop are render with
     - Traditonal Chinese
     - bitmap-fonts
     ("WenQuanYi Zen Hei" / ttf-wqy-zenhei).

Expected result:
   - Desktop are render with
     - Japanese
     - outline-fonts
     (such as "Takao P Gothic"(ttf-takao-pgothic).

Workaround in "24 Apr 2010":
 a) exec: "sudo apt-get remove ttf-qwy-zenhei"

 b) exec: " sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/44-wqy-zenhei.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/66-wqy-zenhei-sharp.conf"
    *and* patch to /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf (see attachment).

Background:
 ttf-wqy-zenhei is included some fontconfig configs, it provides two too-fast timing configurations.
   - "sans/sans-serief" default font changing to Zen Hei: 44-wqy-zenhei.conf
   - "sans/sans-serief" bitmap enabling: 66-wqy-zenhei-sharp.conf
