I'd guess that the -probeonly fails if there are either *no* fonts at
all or if there's not "fixed" font (if you have a setup handy where
you can test this, let me know, otherwise I'll try breaking one of the
machines here later...)
Rather than list all the font packages on each server, I think the
right thing to do is probably to create an 'xfnt' or 'xfntfixed'
virtual package (depending which theory above is right), depend on
that from *all* the servers, and provide it from all the font packages
(or if it's really "fixed", from all the font packages that provide a
fixed alias.) Comments?

ps. I know, there's a seperate issue [#8463] with XF86Setup needing
xfnt75 as well, but ignore that for now...
