Bug#868939: texlive-fonts-extra: please, use alternative depends on ttf-adf- packages that are now fonts-adf-
Hi, Norbert.
Sorry for not replying earlier, but I've been very busy with real world
duties and having so many health checks and screening.

As far as I can tell, yes, they supply the same files, all in truetype and
in otf containers. The fonts in fonts-adf-* are newer also (potentially with
more glyphs and/or corrections).

Hummm, that I don't know, as it's been quite some time since I last worked
on the fonts team.

I couldn't test if they work yet. I can break the dependencies here to test
(the packages install the fonts at the same locations). Also, the fonts-*
packages have the breaks, conflicts, replaces, provides with the respective
ttf-* packages.
So, at least, some transition work has been done and the fonts-* packages
are both in unstable and testing.
