[Bug 1956117] Re: fonts-dejavu-core is a required dependency of ubuntu metapackages

[Erich Eickmeyer ]

If that's the case, then your concern is against the ubuntu-meta package
and not fonts-dejavu. However, I wouldn't consider this a bug, but it's
still worth discussion, so I'm changing this to "opinion" and keeping it
open under ubuntu-meta.

That said, just because other distributions are doing something doesn't
mean Ubuntu is required to do it. Hence, this is an "opinion".

** Changed in: fonts-dejavu (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Opinion

Title:
  fonts-dejavu-core is a required dependency of ubuntu metapackages

Status in fonts-dejavu package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Between the new language specific fonts, droid, noto, freefont, xfont,
  and liberation fonts, I'm not sure why dejavu is required. Other
  distributions are starting to notice and may not include these fonts
  at all.
