It's not only included in the tarball, it's also installed (binary package texlive-lang-african). texlive also has additional Type1 fonts (see also #390195). The TeXlive maintainers generally appreciate if someone cares for a particular component of TeXlive and maintains it in a separate package; we exclude the stuff from our packages and Recommend the separate package. However, if no one steps up and maintains ethiop, there's no problem in just removing it now. Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
