I once again looked for whether the ubuntu font is already in Debian,
and stumbled upon thiss bugreport to find that it still hasn't been
done ...

If you find a sponsor, I will do the updates to the package and provide a new
.dsc file for upload into contrib.
Actually, uploading it to contrib would get it rejected, at least from
what I read from Jörg Jaspert in message #30 to the bug, stating that
the license is considered to violate DFSG 4.
Please upload it to non-free and be done with it,
