Sorry for not mentioning this before you did the packaging, but can I
suggest that emacs-X11 package setup.hint should have font-adobe-dpi75

I believe this will ensure that all the fonts which are listed in the
default shift-left-click menu are installed, and notably, including the
adobe fonts should prevent the 'emacs font is just boxes' reports on
fresh installs...
I was a bit surprised today when commissioning a new PC today to get a
hideous rescaled version of the system Courier New as a my default emacs
font.
I think this suggestion of mine is now out of date as Xft is used by
default since emacs 23.1.
I think changing the hint to require font-bitstream-vera-ttf, which
provides a scalable monospaced font, should give a better default
appearance.
