Makes sense to me.

Rogério does seem to have something in the svn repo under people/, but his 
document in git has been updated more 
recently.

Honestly, I'm not personally interested in contributing to a comprehensive 
rfc2119 style policy statement. But I do think there is a real need for 
something public facing beyond what already exists. To that end, I've drafted 
an update to http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/PackagingPolicy I've kept it at 
http://wiki.debian.org/Andrewsomething/Fonts/PackagingPolicy for now.

If there are no objections, I will replace the current Fonts/PackagingPolicy 
wiki page. Feel free to suggest changes or edit it directly (it is a wiki =)).
