Thanks for the answers. Given that there are no obvious problems in the package, I have no problem with adding it when localechooser is uploaded with Amharic activated.

Hmm. That's the package size. Installed size is 608kB.
That means we now have (sizes as reported by packages.d.o):
Package Package Size Installed Size
ttf-freefont-udeb (base) 317.4 kB 576 kB
ttf-cjk-compact-udeb 1,070.4 kB 1,816 kB

So, sil-abyssinica is certainly one of the larger fonts and adds
significantly to the G-I memory footprint.
cjk-compact is by far the largest, but also effectively covers 4 major
languages.
I forget why we still have dejavu. Davide: what are the chances of getting
rid of that?
The last 4 or 5 are IMO no problem given their size, but for ttf-tmuni and
sil-abyssinica and possibly malayalam-fonts a size reduction would be
welcome.
Maybe we should also consider removing them if another language is selected
(which of course does not help the initrd size)?
