Linking things around is not wonderful because it a) is really difficult to 
manage from a packaging point of view and b) confuses people who are used to 
the current layout and annoys upstream when it breaks other stuff (see for 
example the problems with the font installer).

Would you mind taking this upstream to see if you can get any sort of 
consensus about how they would like this solved?  It would make life a lot 
easier for everyone if there was an agreed way to do this.

Thanks
