Sure. We will re-include the "sanskrit" part of TeX Live which
only ships the mf /pfb files and the source of the preprocessor.

There is one thing we should think about: Transition for users of
latex-sanskrit.
If you think it is fine to drop the package completely without
any upgrade path, that is fine with me.
Otherwise we could build a transitional package "latex-sanskrit"
from texlive-lang that just depends on
texlive-lang-indic
and be gone.
That way you don't have to request removal either, since it is
just a change of maintainer, and at the end will be removed
at some point.
Let me know your opinion and I will implement it for TL 2014,
(which will probably never enter Debian if we don't get a new libpng)
All the best
Norbert
