Uh oh yes right.. I forgot completely about installer, I probably had
communicated on this with Christian(bubulle) and I think tasksel was fixed by him
IIRC but not able to recall completely as it was long time back.

So yes all these old udebs are also transitioned but there is no
transitional dummy packages for them as they are installer only.
If I remember correctly we have only 2 font udebs for Indian languages
one was *ttf-kannada-fonts-udeb* and another was
*ttf-malayalam-fonts-udeb* and now we have new udebs for these as
*fonts-knda-udeb* and *fonts-mlym-udeb*.
IIRC fonts-mlym-udeb might not be needed by debian-installer as
Malayalam is part of GNU Free Fonts package. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Warm Regards
