Bug#823150: Please remove the Recommends on fonts-mgopen

[Faidon Liambotis]

Package: task-greek-desktop
Version: 3.34
Severity: normal

Hi,

It's been a long time since MgOpen was the only reasonable font with
Greek glyphs; a standard Debian desktop should support Greek just fine
these days and MgOpen is actually in such a poor state that it's even
counterproductive to install it by default (the lack of the Euro
currency glyph is an example of that).

As such, I've requested from the ftp-masters its removal from the
archive. You can see the full rationale over at #819026.

In the meantime, please remove fonts-mgopen from the Recommends of
task-greek-desktop.

Regards,
Faidon
