Bug#964774: freetype: libfreetype6-udeb should not depend on non-udeb libbrotli1
Source: freetype
Version: 2.10.2+dfsg-2
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: breaks d-i

Builds of the debian-installer are failing lately due to changes in
libfreetype6-udeb. They are failing with:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libfreetype6-udeb : Depends: libbrotli1 (>= 1.0.7) but it is not installable
An udeb is not allowed to depend on non-udeb packages and there's no
udeb package for libbrotli1.
Please either disable the feature that requires brotli support in the
udeb (meaning that you have to implement a double build like in some other
packages providing udebs, see openssh or cairo) or work with the brotli
maintainer to add the required udeb.
If you go for the latter, it would be nice to disable the brotli
dependency entirely until the udeb has been added and is gone through
NEW.
We don't think that support of WOFF fonts is important in the context of
debian-installer so after a quick chat in #debian-boot, the consensus
is leaning towards disabling that dependency in a separate udeb build.
Cheers,
