Yes, this is true, and it's on my to-do, I am avoiding it for the first
release however, would I be wrong in doing so?

No good way that I can see to watch a mercurial repo, archives for
download have been suggested upstream, but those would be of the whole
directory and not relevant to looking for new versions of a specific
font anyways.

I've fixed this, is there anything more that would need doing for Ubuntu
in this, or is adding the pre-depends enough?

I'm not subscribed to the lists, so do CC me.
