I guess what I mean is that somebody took the time to write that code,
so presumable it served a purpose.  It may very well be that that
purpose is no longer there.  But I'd expect that only somebody who
recently hacked on the font code can make that judgement.  At the very
least I think patches like this need more than just "remove unused
debug code" as an explanation/motivation.  In a sense, debug code by
definition is unused.
