What version of xfonts-utils are you using when you run into this problem? As far as I can see, there are only 1.0.6 versions available in Debian and Ubuntu (in any release), which should not trigger this issue.
The solution would be to modify debhelper, which adds the dependency on xfonts-utils using ${misc:Depends}. The current version (including 5.0.37.3) adds a dependeny without versioning.
I don't think that it is necessary to fix debhelper in this point because there is no version of xfonts-utils available that doesn't understand the --x11r7-layout parameter of update-fonts-dir, neither in old releases nor in current test releases. So it's a "alpha testing only" problem, which is already solved.
