Bug Description

When you downlaod Linux Libertine you thinks, you have all the fonts:
* font sans-serif face: Linux Biolinum
* font sherif : Linux Libertine

All of theme have two versions: O and G.
fonts-linuxlibertine give only O version, not the G

Actual: fonts-linuxlibertine give only O version. The user think with LibreOffice (who give the G and O version in its website inside LibreOffice for Linux, Windows and Mac OS) that Ubuntu give the two versions. But it's not true.

Expected: fonts-linuxlibertine must give O and G versions.

Workforme: downlaod from http://numbertext.org/linux/ but it's not user friendly (and Ubuntu love to be user friendy).

This problem already exist in Ubuntu 18.04.
The Linux Biolinum O font is coming with Libreoffice 6, but in Windows package Libreoffice comes with the Linux Biolinum G.
And any document can work without the policy rules.

Can you correct this package and add the G version too ?
