Binary package hint: ttf-ubuntu-
The Ubuntu Font is being included in Ubuntu from 10.10 onwards, it would be valuable for users of older releases to have it installed as well. This is not a suggestion that it be made the default on older releases, just that it be available for installation or possibly recommended too.
Following SRU policy:
The addition of the Ubuntu font to the archive of maintained releases would have low impact, it would change the default font setting but it would mean those users view sites like the Ubuntu web site and Launchpad in the correct font.
This is addressed in Maverick and beyond by inclusion on the CD and in the default installation. In those releases, Ubuntu is the default interface font as well.
No patch is needed, this is purely a bug for the addition of a package to the archive.
There is little to no risk of regressions adding ttf-ubuntu-
