Hmmm, this could have been a good opportunity to improve the packages'
descriptions:

- overcapitalization in synopsis
- discouraged non-sentence in long description. Should be "This
package provides a set..."
- drop "free": we now that these fonts are free as they're in Debian
main..:-)
- drop "high quality". I'm not sure that everybody agrees on this and,
anyway, that more sounds like advertizing than describing
- drop "(in)". There's nothing infamous in the said fonts and we don't
need to appear as aggressive...:). Indeed, drop "famous" as well and
just be factual.


Description: fonts with wide Unicode coverage (serif, sans and mono) - OpenType
 This package provides a set of fonts covering a large part of the UCS
 character set. These fonts are by design similar to the Helvetica,
 Times and Courier fonts.
 .
 This package provides the OpenType Freefont files.

...and a parallel description for ttf-freefont..
