That's not entirely true. We can change the component of a package in the -updates pocket; we cannot change the component in the release pocket. So if there is a requirement to promote a package to main after release, we can copy the package to the -updates pocket and promote it there. In this particular case, it appears that recommending a package in universe and having it installed for some people and not all, would be a better experience than not recommending it. If this is the consensus, it's my SRU/AA view that we should go the rest of the way and promote fonts-stix in -updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1487148 Title: [MIR] fonts-stix -- to replace xfonts-mathml Status in fonts-stix package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in fonts-stix source package in Wily: New Status in libreoffice source package in Wily: New Bug description: [Availability] already in xenial [Rationale] The libreoffice-common package currently recommends xfonts-mathml, which was removed from Debian in 2014 with the rationale that it is superseded by fonts-stix (and that it has a license problem).
