I think that is not correct because fonts-droid comes from
droidfonts.com [1] and Roboto is not listed there. Roboto can be
downloaded from here [2]
So IMHO when there is separate upstream and separate download point
available why mix up everything in single package? Well this is my
opinion because I've faced and cleared this mess in ttf-indic-fonts
package in Debian-IN team.
But I'm open to suggestions. Christian what do you think?
