Well, as far as Ubuntu is concerned, the package is in "universe", so
it's up to the community to find someone who keeps the package up-to-
date in Debian/Ubuntu. font-manager is shipped by default in Ubuntu
Studio only:

$ apt-cache rdepends font-manager
font-manager
Reverse Depends:
  ubuntustudio-publishing
$ 

@Set: Looks like the ball is back in your court. As regards Xenial you
may want to point out to the SRU team that an exception from the normal
SRU criteria would be motivated in this case.

Title:
  "Querying installed files" process on start-up takes abnormally long
  (~20minutes)

Status in font-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When starting font-manager it queries the installed font files. Until
  16.04 this process has been fairly fast. Since 16.04 it takes up to 20
  minutes, and looks like the app died: loading bar gets stuck and
  switching the window back from the background shows an empty window.

  2 ways to reproduce:

  a)
  - launch font-manager
  expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
  result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files

  b)
  - once launched, install new fonts
  - press "reload now" when prompted
  expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
  result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files
