I've also always thought the "linux" in the name was
silly/distracting/misleading.  Libertine works fine on non-Linux
platforms (even on non-free platforms, horrible though they may be :P)
and i don't think it makes sense for a font to should show up when
searching the archive for "linux".

So fonts-libertine is fine by me.  I assume this includes biolinum (the
sans serif variant) as well.
