Hi Christian,

Thanks for your helpful comments.

Fixed in svn.

I was doing my lintian/linda checks on testing (and it didn't catch 
these). Now I'm doing them on unstable.

I've picked it up from other packages. (I think it was Tollef Fog Heen 
who suggested it to me a while ago along with the Homepage: field).

IMHO it's useful to know about the upstream authors - especially for 
fonts designers when sometimes the metadata/readme files inside the font 
aren't really descriptive enough - but I'm ready to remove it if needed 
(a few other packages already use it). I'm curious to know more about 
why this does not belong there.


Cheers,
