A different person asking doesn't make the idea any more palatable (not to me, 
at least...)

Since this wasn't explored earlier though, if we absolutely must upgrade 
liberation-fonts and there really is no alternative to distributing this font 
other than to build it from source then we're left with little choice, but are 
both of those things true?

Cheers,
