[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#457481: ttf-sil-abyssinica: Please provide a udeb for D-I purposes

[Christian Perrier]

Package: ttf-sil-abyssinica
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The font provided in this package is planned for use by Debian Installer to
support Amharic which has recently been activated.

For this, we need a udeb with the font alone. The attached patch allows
creating it.
