To me it looks like a reasonable font to make selectable in Ubuntu. But 
before that can be really considered, it would need to be packaged in a 
sensible way for Debian. Even if the Atkinson Hyperlegible font files 
are actually included in the texlive-fonts-extra package, they would 
need to be broken out into a separate package.

So that font won't be part of the proposed font overhaul project 
referred to in this thread.
