Because I didn't think of it. :-) I have re-uploaded them as libfreetype6
and libfreetype6-dev. Thanks!

Josip has filed a wishlist bug report about that too. However, he also
says that many packages has a versioned dependency on freetype2 (>= 1.3.1)
that changing it to libttf2 would break lots of package, especially that
dpkg doesn't yet support versioned provides AFAIK. That's why I am leaving
the package names as is. :-)
