Hi,
I adopted [3] recently (updated and cleaned-up the PKGBUILD), and
would like to add that [1] and [2] indicate the wrong licence.
The fonts are released under the Ubuntu Font Licence, not GPL.

Further on it uses strange version numbers and it is built using a source archive from font.ubuntu.com, but uses only the precompiled ttf-files. Therefore the download 2.3MB instead of 0.7MB seems unnecessary.
