[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

this series removes the package brotli, which is parallel to google-brotli.
The latter provides version 1.0.7 of the shared libraries, whereas brotli
provided an earlier, unknown version. Its only dependent was woff2, which has
been upgraded to the proper release 1.0.2 and which in turn is only used by
font-fantasque-sanse. Both builds succeed.

Cheers,
Lars

I pushed these two patches a few days ago but forgot to reply (?).

I made “brotli” a deprecated alias for “google-brotli”.

Thanks!
