libttf2 is freetype 1:
Source: freetype1
Version: 1.4pre.20011029-1
As is bonus confusing dependency package name:
freetype2 - Dummy package for transition to libttf2.
(So, freetype2 is actually freetype1.)
Then we have:
libfreetype6 - FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files.
Which is actually freetype2:
Source: freetype
Version: 2.1.2-1
Clear as mud!
