Package: texlive-fonts-extra
Version: 2012.20120611-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

please split the package apart into packages of more reasonable size and
make this a dependency package. A user should have more fine grained
control over which fonts he wants to install and shouldn't have to
download and store 400 MB of data if he only needs one specific font.

This would also reduce the lintian warnings about duplicate font files.


Thanks,
Thomas Kremer

Please take a look at the actual packaging in svn. We are *generating*
the *source* packages with scripts.

If you can come up with a patch, I *MIGHT* consider it, but there
is no guarantee.

(maybe I missed it, but I never saw fact 2 stated)

Well, then there will be no change in Debian.

Yes.

Done so.
