Sorry, my understanding of Debian Policy and its spirit is that it is
wrong for there to be multiple copies of the same font in Debian (or
Ubuntu). Since birdfont needs Roboto, it needs to depend on the existing
fonts-roboto package instead of shipping yet another copy of Roboto.
Therefore, I am closing this bug.

It really sounds like a bug in texlive-fonts-extra for it to ship
duplicate copies of system fonts. It should look into using symlinks to
the system fonts like birdfont does.
