Further, at first, the package was for MathML, which would be of generic interest, but for iceweasel of Lenny the package is unnecessary for rendering MathML so I once thought I would orphan the package. (And STIX fonts, which I intend to package, are necessary for iceweasel in Lenny.) But Drew Parsons told me, in short, the package would be important for users who access Mathematica remotely even if the package is unnecessary for MathML. So the package should change its nature in this case. At present, I believe to neglect ttf-mathematica4.1 is the best solution for Lenny release.
