Bug#899124: fa-solid-900.ttf symlinked as fontawesome-webfont.ttf
Hi Alexis, Thomas,
First of all I apologise for not replying in time. I'm bit occupied by
family work so not getting enough time to deal with package.

Yes I agree that I should have followed usual transition process but I
did not imagine a font package breaking things in this manner. Of course
its not an excuse but I should have been careful, but what is done is
done now.

I've created basic package at ¹. If you or Thomas can adjust the package
as needed and upload it to archive it would be great. Also please
consider adding yourself as uploader as I might not have energy to
maintain additional package.
