Yes that is true.

Well upstream provides 2 tar balls one for Assamese and one for
Bengali and both font file are not similar. By trying to mix both them
together we will have no valid upstream for the fonts-lohit-beng (It
will  be a similar case of ttf-indic-fonts). I would like to preserve
upstream  work as is.
So what will be other best alternative?

Also I noted that *there was no ttf-assamese-fonts* so fonts-lohit-as is
not a split from ttf-indic-fonts source. So I'm really confused on how
to handle this peculiar case.
