Dear Maintainer,

Why does a tiny package like feh depend on a large, seemingly-unrelated
one like yudit-common?

As far as I can see, it's a debian-specific thing added in Feb 2018 with
package version 2.23.2-1: "Use yudit.ttf from yudit-common package"; but
I can't find any reason for the change? Why the new dep? Why that
package specifically instead of some generic font package?

The font is used in the upstream source:

$ grep yudit src/* man/* ChangeLog
src/feh.h:#define DEFAULT_FONT "yudit/11"
src/feh.h:#define DEFAULT_MENU_FONT "yudit/10"
src/feh.h:#define DEFAULT_FONT_BIG "yudit/12"
src/feh.h:#define DEFAULT_FONT_TITLE "yudit/14"
man/feh.pre:.Qq yudit/12
man/feh.pre:.Pq truetype, with size, like Qq yudit/12
ChangeLog:  * stick in yudit.ttf. it's not as pretty, but it is, apparently, DFSG

I'd be happy if you could convince upstream to find a better
solution.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
