Just forwarding for our reference. Dave confirmed that Droid is superseded by Noto but as Dave says in mail I can't find any notice for this.

Droid is superceded by Noto. I thought there was a public notice of this, if not, you could request one on the Noto mailing list or github issue tracker

Hi Dave,
I'm the maintainer of fonts-droid and fonts-roboto in Debian. We were
tracking the android repository¹ for release newer versions of these
fonts.
Recently when trying to update the fonts I noticed that Droid and Roboto
fonts have vanished from the repository. It was noted that roboto has
its own upstream² but I couldn't trace what really happened to Droid
fonts, though some commits mentioned about using Noto fonts instead.
Paul Wise told it would be better to contact you on this ³. So are Droid
fonts are dropped? or is the development moved some where else like
roboto?.
