So, we will have ~24 binaries!
But, I am still not sure to create a package for only one font. This
really needs more discussion. Better idea is to have,
ttf-indic-fonts-core, which includes each language fonts (It could be
metapackage too, but let me check for it)

-extra should not depend on -core. We can put conflicts to avoid
duplicate files/fonts for users.

Big question. I prefer to install all scripts I can read! It depends on user.

Lets not hurry. This is good idea, which needs some further discussion.

You can also ask on ubuntu-in list. I prefer lohit-gujarati for
Gujarati. List, please give your vote!!
