I am still not sure myself...

Nicolas, what are the exact single issues that you think prevent us 
from uploading the cantarell fonts package to experimental (I mean 
package-wise)? GNOME 3 is out and I have been asked by several people 
within the last few days about the status of these fonts.

There are even font packages that contain only the binary font files 
(e.g. gsfonts) as long as the license is appropriate.
