Well, the problem is fixed today.  Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Most web sites look fine.  Occasionally I do reduce font size to help
with problems like this, but on the whole I don't have to worry about
it.

VNC in Debian doesn't yet have XRANDR support so VNC can't be resized on
the fly (I mean to help out with #366493 but haven't gotten around to
it).

Not just older hardware has limited screen dimensions, like
my old Thinkpad 570, but also newer, such as the Nokia 770/870/880.  So
don't get too comfortable thinking that making web sites look good on
smaller displays is a thing of the past.
