Some questions:
* Is this package co-installable with the old fonts? It does not have any Conflicts: /Replaces: , and indeed it might be desirable to have that, plus some of the original extra fonts installed?
* From a very crude perspective, is this just a selection of existing fonts, or new fonts that we didn't previously ship? I. e. would that actually change anything visually, or just remove some redundancy?
If the package is co-installable and just redundancy reduction, this looks appropriate for me.
