[Debian-in-workers] Bug#761668: RM: ttf-devanagari-fonts -- NBS; transitional dummy package blocking migration of fonts-deva

[Vasudev Kamath]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

ttf-devanagari-fonts (2:1.1) is a transitional dummy package introduced
in Wheezy for smooth transition from ttf-devanagari-fonts to
fonts-deva. I've dropped this in the unstable and package refuses to
migrate [1].

So I request its removal. I've filed bugs on reverse-dependencies of the
same and got it sorted out [2] except tuxpaint which according to
maintainer is fixed in git but needs some work before upload.[3].

PS. I'm not really sure where I should file this bug, when I marked for
removal from testing reportbug told me to file it against release.d.o
but going through [4] I felt this should be filed on ftp.d.o. If I'm
wrong please correct me.
