Coming to think of it, I feel this renaming / repackaging / splitting
up the fonts is a good idea, whatever the other mailing list decides.

The flip side is that we will end up with umpteen smaller packages. 

Anyway, I suggest you sleep over this for a few days, to allow others
respond. 

I feel the transition is going to be very painful, particularly if
first install was the indic fonts metapackage, and user upgrades /
installs only the individual font. For testing / unstable /
experimental users like me, the new fonts will show up under the "new
packages" tab in aptitude. I am not sure that a simple "aptitude
upgrade" will install the proposed packages.
