I did see the error during an hoary->breezy test dist-upgrade on x86.
It is down to the 'xfonts-base' package missing a symlink:

  Package: xfonts-base
  Symlink: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc -> ../../../share/X11/fonts/misc

daniels said that other packages needed fixing aswell though:

  <daniels> it will be in for breezy final
  <daniels> it's just a matter of when we do it relative to when we fix
            all the font packages that are installed by default

Michael: Did you open a bug for it?
