lmodern 1.00-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

lmodern (1.00-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.

    There are a bunch of new fonts. The new text fonts are lmdunh10, lmduno10,
    lmssq8, lmssqbo8, lmssqbx8, lmssqo8 and lmu10.

    The other new fonts are maths and symbol fonts. We don't register them
    with defoma, because:

      a) these fonts don't fit well in the defoma classification
         (GeneralFamily, Shape...);

      b) that doesn't look very useful (they support only a small part of
         ASCII, if any, so using them in applications such as text editors
         cannot be done without resorting to functions such as
         "Insert Special Characters"). OK, that might be useful for
         GhostScript... Since probably nobody uses that, I'd rather not bother
         unless specifically asked for this feature (having the maths/symbol
         fonts directly registered with GhostScript).

    The link to the Latin Modern wishlist web page in the upstream README
    file is now fixed (closes: #352949).

  * Use debian/copyright.in instead of debian/copyright.Debian (because
    the latter is confusing to me) and update it with the information
    shipped in LM 1.00.

  * The monolithic lm.map is incomplete in LM 1.00, therefore we use the
    more specific map files (lm-ec.map, etc.). They are found and declared
    automatically in 10lmodern.cfg. In order to do this,
    debian/lmodern.cfg is now generated from debian/lmodern.cfg.in, where
    '@LMODERN_BASIC_MAP_DECLARATIONS@' is simply replaced by the basic map
    declarations (where "basic" means those that should be equivalent to
    lm.map if it wasn't incomplete; not lm-rep-*.map, nor the cork-lm.map
    that we have for backward compatibility). This replacement is
    performed by two simple sed scripts: sed_scripts/extract-start and
    sed_scripts/extract-end.

  * Install a lintian override file for the inappropriate warning:

      lmodern: maintainer-script-needs-depends-on-ucf preinst

  * Use the "core X11 fonts system" expression in the package description
    and README.Debian (this is the one used in hw/xfree86/doc/README.fonts
    from the xorg-server 1.0.2 source package). Also, slightly update/trim
    these places about how fonts are rendered, because I think that with
    current X.Org, it is FreeType who does the rendering of Type 1 fonts,
    even when the core X11 fonts system is in use (although there is no
    antialiasing in this case, don't ask me why).

  * Use a build-indep-stamp file to avoid running the build-indep target
    twice per build (first time when "debian/rules build" is called,
    second time when "debian/rules binary" is invoked).

  * Recode MANIFEST.txt to have Unix-style line endings before installing
    it in /usr/share/doc/lmodern/. Add 'recode' to Build-Depends-Indep for
    this reason.
