Hi,
There are ttf-japanese-mincho and ttf-japanese-gothic in the virtual package
of font packages for Japanese now.
By the Fonts team, we are switching over from ttf- to fonts- by ackage file
name now.
To this shift, I suggest that I change the virtual package
from ttf-japanese-{mincho, gothic} to fonts-japanese-{mincho, gothic}.
Hello Nobuhiro,
I have commited you patch to the policy GIT repository:
* Virtual: change ttf-japanese-{mincho, gothic} to
fonts-japanese-{mincho, gothic}.
Proposed by: Nobuhiro Iwamatsu iwama...@nigauri.org
Seconded: Charles Plessy ple...@debian.org
Seconded: Bill Allombert ballo...@debian.org
Closes: #644230
Thanks for your contribution to Debian policy.

There are not contents and the change that I suggested other than a
virtual package name in #440931[0].

Ah, sounds like the answer is that one should use sans and serif,
then. :)
Now that I check, it looks like currently each package that Provides:
ttf-japanese-gothic or -mincho offers a file like
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf
through the alternatives system. I believe the virtual package name
list should mention that, because other packages could be relying on
it now or in the future. Any new package that Provides: one of these
package names should be registering itself with update-alternatives,
too, for consistency.
Thanks for clarifying.

Sounds fine to me.
Please forgive my ignorance: how is one supposed to use these virtual
packages? I wonder if packages like kanatest should be depending on
these virtual packages, and if there is some standard font name or
other interface packages can use to get the right behavior when they
are installed.

I think that a package like kanatest which needs to indicate by Japanese
needs to depend on a Japanese font package.
When pakcage maintainer does not know what kind of Japanese font
should have set,
this virtual package works effectively.
When this is set, a Japanese package of best quality is installed.
And most application works for the cause by setting of fontconfig.
This work does not depend on ttf-japanese-{gothic,mincho}.

Nobuhiro
