This was a bit confusing because usually, the fonts are also available
for the system (e.g. "fc-match Inconsolata"), and this is no longer
the case for Inconsolata (unless the package is re-added manually).
Also note that the current fonts-inconsolata package provides a
test file /usr/share/doc/fonts-inconsolata/textest.pdf.gz, which
I assume that it was built with TeX, and this could also lead to
some confusion because one now has two Inconsolata fonts that may
not match.
