"Virtual package providing" that's the terminology when a package 
replaces another one as a virtual package, this is so when a package 
tries to call, in this case, ubuntu-fonts, then it will install 
fonts-trisquel, this technique avoid the need to look for all present 
and future packages looking for ubuntu-fonts and try to change them.

Please take a look at:
