Some more looking into this...

The reason we are not using the standard Debian packages is we limit the
number of fonts installed on the default image for size reasons. We did
this by making a ttf-indic-fonts-core package which contained this
minimal set of fonts (excluding Punjabi which we used the already small
ttf-punjabi-fonts)

>From the old ttf-indic-fonts-core package we have the following fonts
and I've tried to track down which new packages these fonts contain.
Fonts that no longer seem to exists are marked with ? and fonts packages
that contain multiple fonts are marked with *. We can't use the packages
that contain many fonts since they will be too large.

lohit_bn.ttf  -> fonts-lohit-beng-bengali
MuktiNarrowBold.ttf -> fonts-beng-extra*
MuktiNarrow.ttf -> fonts-beng-extra*
gargi.ttf -> ?
lohit_hi.ttf -> fonts-lohit-deva
lohit_gu.ttf -> fonts-lohit-gujr 
Rekha.ttf -> fonst-gujr-extra*
Kedage-b.ttf -> ?
Kedage-n.ttf -> ?
Malige-b.ttf -> ?
Malige-n.ttf -> ?
Meera_04.ttf -> fonts-smc*
Rachana_04.ttf -> fonts-smc*
utkal.ttf -> fonts-orya-extra
lohit_ta.ttf -> fonts-lohit-tamil
Pothana2000.ttf -> fonts-telu-extra
Vemana.ttf -> fonts-telu-extra

Title:
  ttf-indic-fonts packages is not updated for last 2 years

Status in “ttf-indic-fonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Debian fonts team recently restructured the indic fonts. ttf-indic-fonts changed to fonts-indic. This is meta package and all packages ttf-[language]-fonts renamed to fonts-[script/foundry]. In addition to this all fonts were updated to latest versions from upstreams. 
  I request ubuntu maintainers to update the fonts to latest versions and consider following the debian package naming changes for fonts.

  Refer: http://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-indic
