Hmm, that seems tricky.

I'm personnally nnot entirely happy with
fonts-ubuntu-font-family-whatever. It seems weird to repeat "font" in
the pkg name and "family" is not exactly a font name.

Indeed, how about simply "fonts-ubuntu" for the package providing the
TTF|OTF fonts and fonts-ubuntu-console for the package providing the
console fonts. Is there a chance that there is a
fonts-ubuntu-somethingelse for another font family provided by the
"ubuntu" foundry?

CC'ing you, Paul though I'm unsure this is needed as you're probably
subscribed to the LP bug.
