stripped from the udeb

Package: ttf-freefont
Version: 20060501cvs-3
tags: d-i, patch
As discussed on debian-boot [1], freefont is currently used to display
Bengali text in g-i, but conjuncts are not rendered properly; that's because
we strip those.
The following patch fixes the problem.
In case g-i switched to mukti fonts (#375475) the patch needs to be reverted
along with a line adding the u0980:u099F range.
Sorry for filing separate bugs for separate problems...
Thanx,
Davide
