Since those are were some fonts that I thought about packaging in the
past, I grabbed Dmitry's git repository and made some small modifications.
Here is the shortlog:

Some I have some longer comments in the logs that may be of interest to
our future.

I can send the output of git format-patch to any interested party, of course.

Hope this helps,

    Actually, be bold and just kill the duplication of names.

    If needed, just blame me.

    Place the fonts under ttf-paratype-sans instead of ttf-paratype only.

    It is not clear to me why so many fonts of a given type $type are
    installed under

    	/usr/share/fonts/$type/$type-$foundry-$name

    instead of the shorter path

    	/usr/share/fonts/$type/$type-$foundry-$name

    without repetition of $type (even if that is, say truetype and ttf).
    I guess that this should, perhaps, be revisited.

    Include my changes in the changelog.

    Also set Dmitry as the last person to change the file, to avoid a boring
    lintian warning that will go away anyway as soon as this is uploaded to
    the repository.

    Also set the distribution to UNRELEASED, just to avoid any mistake.

    Forgot the little dot in the long description.

    Make the long description of the fonts what is embedded in the fonts.

    This can (of course) be automated with otfinfo (as with the previous
    renaming), but let us keep it short and sweet for the moment.

    Add new versions of the fonts from ParaType's package distribution.

    The original files were renamed as follows:

    mv PTS75F.ttf PTSans-Bold.ttf
    mv PTS76F.ttf PTSans-BoldItalic.ttf
    mv PTS56F.ttf PTSans-Italic.ttf
    mv PTS55F.ttf PTSans.ttf

    mv PTC75F.ttf PTSansCaption-Bold.ttf
    mv PTC55F.ttf PTSansCaption.ttf
    mv PTN77F.ttf PTSansNarrow-Bold.ttf
    mv PTN57F.ttf PTSansNarrow.ttf

    If the original names are desired, just undo that.

    Update the copyright information with the OFL version 1.1.

    Thanks to Nicolas Spalinger for the hint.

    Kill defoma from the package.

    As defoma is being phased out, let's leave out the baggage and be lighter.
