Hi Takashi,

Uninstalling ttf-symbol-replacement will NOT remove all of the other fonts
in the font meta, nor will it remove the other packages in the graphics
meta, it will merely remove the empty meta packages themselves.  It is safe
to replace this at will.

Because ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.X is not in ubuntu's repositories but
rather in a non-Ubuntu-Studio related PPA I personally don't agree with the
requested change to the font-meta.  We should not be listing non-repository
packages in our metas unless the Ubuntu Studio team has a direct connection
to them.

This is obviously just my opinion, but because the conflict is a harmless
one anyways, I don't think there is much motivation to change the way things
are currently.  Sorry if this causes unnessecary stress or confusion.
