Package: fonts-droid-fallback
Version: 1:6.0.1r16-1.1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
>From the description of the fonts-droid-fallback package it is not clear why fonts-droid has vanished from Debian (i.e. that Noto grew out of Droid and is the same but better) and how to fix legacy documents (install Noto fonts & change documents from Droid {Sans,Serif,Mono} => Noto {Sans,Serif,Mono})

Also, a fontconfig file could be shipped with
> <alias>
> 	<family>Droid {...}</family>
> 	<accept>
> 		<family>Noto {...}</family>
> 	</accept>
> </alias>
