Thanks both to Dmitry and you for all the efforts in getting this font
family packaged!


Some comments at a quick glance:

- your copyright notice as a packager shouldn't be added right after
that of the upstream but in a separate section.  This is causing confusion.
In all the packages co-maintained in the team this is done at the bottom
of the copyright file. Upstream and packagers notices should be kept
separate.
Ideally we should move to DEP5-type representation but that's a
long-term goal.

- the name of the target folder in the install files should correspond
to the name of the package: usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-foo instead of
usr/share/fonts/truetype/foo. A consistency thing with existing
packaging. We can refine that when we do a big rename.

- I recommend you add the team as maintainer and yourself and others you
think can help as uploaders.

Looks like these recommendations also apply to the packaging for
anonymous-pro

Thanks!
