Recently, Source Sans/Serif Pro fonts got renamed. The "Pro" suffix was replaced with the major version of the font name. In the case of Source Serif, the change was announced in adobe-fonts/source-serif#77 and besides the name font metric have been changed too. Therefore, documents using the old "Pro" version might look differently when the font is changed to the new "4" version. In the case of Source Sans, the metrics seem not to have been changed (adobe-fonts/source-sans#192), but this comment (adobe-fonts/source-sans#192 (comment)) suggests that it might happen in the future. Due to the above, it makes sense to keep both old "Pro" and new (numbered) fonts as separate packages. This commit reintroduced the old "Pro" versions. It seems that Arch Linux is also distributing both versions: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/0d70461e5a26cde02cadfda64078eb93192c6caa/trunk/PKGBUILD Closes NixOS#157972
