You can try to run lintian on your package "lintian -i foo.changes"

In case you have doubt, feel free to  ask for advice in private in
French, as I understand you're French (or at least French
speaker)....which I happen to be too...:)

Not exactly. What I didn't understand the purpose of was:

         cd build; cp ../Pecita.otf ./

Could be interesting to include it in an upstream tarball (along  with
the OTF file, a copy of the SIL licence and maybe even a Makefile
allowing to build the otf file from source with Fontforge). That's
more a job that you can do it as upstream.

Another option could be focusing on your font design job  and ask to
the fontpackaging team to maintain the Debian (and therefore Ubuntu)
package. We can quite easily do this..:-)

I can try to spend some time on this after Christmas/New Year holidays.

And /me also wonders how to say "je suis au taquet" in English, by the
way..:)
