Package: tex-gyre
Version: 2.004.2-4
Severity: normal

OpenType fonts cannot be embedded in PDF files prior to PDF 1.5.
Unfortunately  some of the most prominent of Free Software PDF producers
for professional grade desktop publishing - Ghostscript and Scribus -
only supports PDF 1.4, forcing these tools to convert OpenType fonts to
vectors with loss of quality as a consequence:
http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Help:Manual_Fontsconfig#Other_notes_about_fonts_and_font_management:

Tex Gyre is a high quality font, interesting for professional DtP, but
on Debian the fonts-texgyre package provides the OpenType flavor of the
fonts, and the alternative Type1 fonts is included only in the tex-gyre
package which depends on fonts-texgyre.  Additionally fonts-texgyre
ships with a fontconfig config snippet to suppress the Type1 flavor.

I argue that this is a genuine use-case for having tex-gyre installed
_without_ fonts-texgyre, and ask that the relation therefore should be
relaxed to only recommend fonts-texgyre.
