Some more looking into this... The reason we are not using the standard Debian packages is we limit the number of fonts installed on the default image for size reasons. We did this by making a ttf-indic-fonts-core package which contained this minimal set of fonts (excluding Punjabi which we used the already small ttf-punjabi-fonts)
>From the old ttf-indic-fonts-core package we have the following fonts and I've tried to track down which new packages these fonts contain. Fonts that no longer seem to exists are marked with ? and fonts packages that contain multiple fonts are marked with *. We can't use the packages that contain many fonts since they will be too large. lohit_bn.ttf -> fonts-lohit-beng-bengali MuktiNarrowBold.ttf -> fonts-beng-extra* MuktiNarrow.ttf -> fonts-beng-extra* gargi.ttf -> ? lohit_hi.ttf -> fonts-lohit-deva lohit_gu.ttf -> fonts-lohit-gujr Rekha.ttf -> fonst-gujr-extra* Kedage-b.ttf -> ? Kedage-n.ttf -> ? Malige-b.ttf -> ? Malige-n.ttf -> ?

This is meta package and all packages ttf-[language]-fonts renamed to fonts-[script/foundry]. In addition to this all fonts were updated to latest versions from upstreams. I request ubuntu maintainers to update the fonts to latest versions and consider following the debian package naming changes for fonts.
