So far, we have no special rules for font naming. So...

...the package should be called liberation-fonts-ttf.
We could install a rule similar to that for python modules, that we always
add ttf in front of true type fonts, or move it in front if it is already
in the name. But I am not convinced this is a good choice: Being truetype
is not inherent to a font, it is just a format, and a package may contain
the same font (or several ones) in different formats. What would we do then?
It would be more reasonable to add "font-" in front. But I am also not too
fond of this.
