Hi,

I'm maintaining HyperKitty, and it relies on fontawesome-webfont.ttf and
FontAwesome.otf from the v4 version. To avoid shipping the files with the
package, I linked them from the debian's one in d/rules. (see [1])

Do we agree that there is no backward compability for such a case?

Cheers!

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
