Perhaps someone in debian-in can help answer above?

An alternative is for Gujarati to use fonts-noto.  If relevant, then
I'd be happy to extend the fonts-noto udeb as needed, but it needs 
someone who actually understand Gujarati to proof-read if using Noto is 
not inferior to the previous Freefont display, and it needs someone 
(you, Holger?) to help generate something for those Gujarati experts to 
proof-read.
