Sure I can do that. But I'm not getting the document of new fonts
package name policy. The policy document in fonts wiki
(http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/PackagingPolicy) is still referring to
old name convention. Can any one point me to the new fonts package
name policy so that I can mention this while filing bug report to
lintian team?
