I don't think we should change around the libxfont and libxfont1 source packages in SRU; this would e.g. make it more confusing to try to do security updates of libxfont in xenial if necessary. It also doesn't look to me like the version bump from libxfont 1.5.1 to libxfont1 1.5.2 is justified under SRU policy.

I would prefer to see:
 - libxfont source SRU, renaming libxfont-dev to libxfont1-dev
 - libxfont2 introduced as a new source package, which can be the libxfont from artful with a source rename.

For now, rejecting these two uploads from the queue pending discussion.
