Hi Fabian,

I'd recommend that you get in touch with upstream to investigate their
current makefile system (currently broken in git AFAICT) instead of
forking off the build and making a Debian-specific derivative.

They probably want more than the simple build script from
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/scripting-tutorial.html

And the VCS structure is likely to get adjusted before GNOME 3 release:
FONTLOG, coverage information, webfont formats, etc.

There's also the issue of our package naming conventions:
fonts-$foundry-$fontfamilyname.


Cheers,
