What does it mean “distro-specific”?

Yeah, it’s considered “non-free” by Debian, but we can apply the same
logic to the other “non-free” fonts added to LibreOffice, such as Open
Sans, Source {Code|Sans} Pro and PT Serif. But instead of removing
these from shipping in LibreOffice, Debian packaging should be the
place where these fonts are removed. Because its *Debian policy* which
should not obstaculize LibreOffice from shipping fonts to Windows.
