[Bug 1487148] Re: [MIR] fonts-stix -- to replace xfonts-mathml
Sure, though the suitability of ~libreoffice is a separate question. I
agree that some teams aren't suitable; I have definitely rejected some
team bug subscribers because they weren't well "staffed".
And I agree that since ~desktop-packages is the point of contact for
libreoffice, it should probably also be the point of contact for this
package.
But I don't agree that the list of teams on the m-r report shouldn't
grow as a matter of course.

Title:
[MIR] fonts-stix -- to replace xfonts-mathml
Status in fonts-stix package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Availability]
already in xenial
[Rationale]
The libreoffice-common package currently recommends xfonts-mathml, which was removed from Debian in 2014 with the rationale that it is superseded by fonts-stix (and that it has a license problem). Please replace it with fonts-stix.
[Security]
no executable code
[Quality assurance]
no executable code
[Dependencies]
no further deps needed: see http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt
[Standards compliance]
trivial package, maintained by Debian
[Maintenance]
no executable code, maintained by Debian, stable/low frequency updates
[Background information]
Since xfonts-mathml is only a Recommends: rather than Depends:, I'm going to go ahead and remove xfonts-mathml from wily. If for some reason fonts-stix is not a suitable replacement and xfonts-mathml is still needed, please feel free to reupload it to the archive and close this bug.
