If we remove Vera fonts from mathematica-fonts, we need to set Depends: on ttf-bitstream-vera, broken links are not acceptable. Then for a program like Google Earth, it is irrelevant whether Vera fonts come from ttf-bitstream-vera or mathematica-fonts. Also it can be said that programs like Google Earth are buggy. > Of cause it is best if somebody who uses Mathematica tests if symlinks > thing works ok.

So I think it is the best solution to explain explicitly and strongly that mathematica-fonts is a package to use Mathematica from remote terminal and not fo MathML.
