Thank you for notifying this is first time I'm splitting a package so
thought recommneds should be better. I will create new version of
fonts-deva-extra with updated dependency but its upload has to wait as
fonts-sarai didn't make it through new queue yet and I already hurried
in my upload of fonts-deva-extra before uploading fonts-sarai.

Best Regards
