Thanks for your report!

Hmm.. It would be a bit late for this kind of change in Xenial, wouldn't
it? I added a Debian bug from March 2016 with a similar request
(transitional package), but that bug hasn't been fixed.

Which packages and scripts *depending* on fonts-droid do you have in
mind? (Can't help to think that they should have been changed by now...)

Title:
  fonts-droid-fallback is missing "Provides: fonts-droid"

Status in fonts-android package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in fonts-android package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  16.04 LTS has renamed package "fonts-droid" as "fonts-droid-fallback" and the new package Breaks the old package. However, the new package is missing "Provides: fonts-droid" which would allow
  existing scripts and 3rd party packages with dependency to "fonts-droid" to continue working.

  Unless there's some reason not to include "Provides: fonts-droid" I
  would request adding it.
