This way we should also split ttf-bitstream-vera, ttf-dejavu,
ttf-freefont, ttf-liberation and ttf-ubuntu-family. Why limit ourselves
to only normal, condensed and so on? Let's split bold and monoscape
variants too, because it can save 15MB of our incredibly small hard
drives.

I'll wait a week with any further actions to see if fellow TUs
have different opinion.
