Even worse I've heard that the release managers are blocking packages 
that unnecessarily change build system so don't switch to CDBS until after

Also maybe we should just rename rachana from otf to ttf?  I don't think 
we treat OpenType and TrueType any differently in Debian and perhaps other 
things might break because of it?
