Quoting Guntupalli Karunakar (karunakar at indlinux.org):

Not remain, but become. The font is currently distributed in Debian
main....and should not.

To debian-in-workers: AksharYogini font is not "likely to be non
free". It *is* non free. Karunakar words are very clear about this.

The patch is trivial: drop it from ttf-indic-fonts and eventually
create a ttf-indic-fonts-nonfree source package with it included.

Again, something has to be done as this release critical bug is likely
to make the entire ttf-indic-fonts package dropped from Debian main,
which is certainly not what we want.
