This package was initially published to the 'contrib' component in Debian,
which means it was auto-synced to 'multiverse' as the corresponding
component in Ubuntu.  The maintainer appears to have fixed the reason for it
being in contrib in the second upload of the package to Debian, but such
changes are not propagated automatically on the Ubuntu side.  I've moved it
to universe now, which will take effect for kinetic onwards.

The best way to get such issues addressed is to file a bug against the
package in Launchpad
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-jetbrains-mono/+filebug),
and subscribe the ubuntu-archive team to the bug.

Cheers,
