Currently, if a user installs 'font-gnu-unifont' they get TrueType fonts. On the other hand, the PSF fonts can be used in the bootloader and the Linux console, and they are only 68 kilobytes, rather than ~22 megabytes if you combine all the font outputs. I don't see a compelling reason for that increase. If the problem is that packages with multiple outputs are confusing, we should try to improve the UI, and we shouldn't use multiple outputs if there isn't a good reason. But this is a case where I think it makes sense.
