In Debian especially from the installer part where we have different
tasksel packages, we decided to use fonts-lohit-* as fonts in this
package the main reason for this decision was lohit is the only foundry
which provides fonts for all Indian languages and they are consistent
with each other.

I would suggest you pick all fonts-lohit-* for supporting Indian
languages.

Hope that helps, keep me in Cc for future references as I'm not
subscribed to launchpad thread.

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
