Package: src:fonts-dejavu
Version: 2.37-6
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: gunnarhj@debian.org

Hi!

The fonts-dejavu-core package covers serif and sans-serif as well as monospace fonts. For better flexibility, so you easier can mix fonts from different packages, I would like to propose that the monospaced variants are broken out into a new fonts-dejavu-mono binary.

The reason for my request is that I'm currently involved in an overhaul of the set of font packages which are installed by default in the Ubuntu desktop. For several years Ubuntu has shipped fonts-dejavu-core, but now fonts-noto-core is about to be shipped by default, and having both is not optimal from a fontconfig POV.

I have thought about various ways to deal with this situation, and since Ubuntu wants to keep DejaVu Sans Mono for now, creating a new binary for the monospaced fonts seems to be a sensible step. The thought is that fonts-dejavu-core would recommend fonts-dejavu-mono, so the change shouldn't result in any disruption. If a user, who has the old version of fonts-dejavu-core installed, upgrades, APT will pull fonts-dejavu-mono and with that make sure that previously installed font files are not dropped as a result of the upgrade. Similarly, when fonts-dejavu-core is a build dependency (example: pango1.0), also fonts-dejavu-mono will become included in the build environment.

And, needless to say, the user would have the option to install fonts-dejavu-mono only.

I will submit a merge request which details how the proposed breakout can be accomplished.

Cheers,
Gunnar Hjalmarsson
