That is indeed the same thing. This means my original requirement is not entirely what I want either. What I mean is "ttf-freefont is sufficient. If you want the better-looking fonts, you need both ttf-larabie-straight and ttf-larabie-deco" By the way, is it even allowed by policy to do this ? section 2.1.2 says: must not require a package outside of main for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main package. Does this allow a Depends on (free|non-free) ? I first thought of a Suggests: of the larabie packages, but this might lead to an unused ttf-freefont installation. What would you suggest ?
