UbuntuMono symlinks are wrong

[Colin Watson]

A debdiff from 0.83-6ubuntu1 to 0.863-0ubuntu1 shows, in part:

lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/Ubuntu-B.ttf -> Ubuntu[wdth,wght].ttf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/Ubuntu-BI.ttf -> Ubuntu-Italic[wdth,wght].ttf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/Ubuntu-R.ttf -> Ubuntu[wdth,wght].ttf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/Ubuntu-RI.ttf -> Ubuntu-Italic[wdth,wght].ttf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-B.ttf -> Ubuntu-Italic[wdth,wght].ttf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-BI.ttf -> UbuntuMono-Italic[wght].ttf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-R.ttf -> Ubuntu-Italic[wdth,wght].ttf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-RI.ttf -> UbuntuMono-Italic[wght].ttf

The UbuntuMono-B and UbuntuMono-R symlinks here are clearly wrong: they should point to `UbuntuMono[wght].ttf` instead. (My terminals look much less awful after fixing that locally.)
