[Bug 318551] Re: incompatible font name change between 4.1.8 and Hardy LTS

[Apteryx]

Also the 'O' in the font's name suggests that it would be the OpenType
version of the font. It's (as far I can tell) not the OpenType version,
but rather the TrueType version of the font (if it's the OpenType
version, then why would the package be named ttf-linux-libertine?).
Hence, the name change, not only being a compatibility problem, is being
misleading.

If I download the fonts from Linux Libertine homepage
(http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/Libertine-EN.html#download), the
naming convention is to stick to "Linux Libertine" for the TTF
(TrueType) version, while the OpenType version takes the 'O' letter at
the end.

I think we should stick to this naming convention, and offer both
version packaged with ttf-linux-libertine and otf-linux-libertine. The
otf-linux-libertine package would then uses the 'O' such as in "Linux
Libertine O"
