Well, "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" seems added by Mandriva guy at
c26344ecfc1d3b85671f5d948a10d5cc27c21c2f. you may need to talk to him
about this change perhaps.
FWIW this is correct metadata for Urdu Nastaliq Unicode:

The glyph coverage for Urdu looks like Nafees Nastaleeq is better than Urdu
Nastaliq Unicode at least. though there seems a lot of fonts that support Urdu
in the world, DajaVu, Kacst, Nafees, and PakType, and maybe more.
I can't figure out this is really better choice for Urdu and can't settle the
kind of this issue so I'm always suggesting to have own recipes to give it a
priority instead of changing the default font here because this is sort of
subjective matter.
