[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#837924: fonts-lklug-sinhala: Stop creating udeb

Package: fonts-lklug-sinhala
Version: 0.6-3
Severity: important

Please stop creating udeb for fonts-lklug-sinhala.

The LKLUG font is viewed as deprecated and we've been trying to
encourage other fonts that can succeed as the default Sinhala font on
GNU/Linux.

At this stage the Noto Sinhala range, in fonts-noto-hinted, is a more
appropriate default font than LKLUG.

See the discussion here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/sinhala/mailman/message/34481529/

$ apt-cache rdepends fonts-lklug-sinhala
fonts-lklug-sinhala
Reverse Depends:
  task-sinhala-desktop

$ dpkg -L fonts-noto-hinted | grep -i sinhala
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Regular.ttf

Thanks,
