That file refers to #603157 which is a rather old and which states that a.) the Ubuntu Fonts License 1.0 is an interim solution and b.) that everybody would like to fix the build system, so that ubuntu-fonts could probably also go into main in Debian.

(see the first question of this mail above :) So, I don't think this should be fixed in vrms: the fonts-ubuntu package on Ubuntu ships meta data which specifies the package is non-free and vrms merely displays this information. So even on the Ubuntu side I think this should be fixed in src:fonts-ubuntu and non in src:vrms. Unless some convincing argument shows up I will close this bug soon. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ PGP fingerprint: B8BF 5413 7B09 D35C F026 FE9D 091A B856 069A AA1C ⠈⠳⣄ There are no jobs on a dead planet.
