[Pkg-fonts-devel] [Fontforge-users] New Debian/Ubuntu Packages

[Hideki Yamane]

Hi,

 I'm afraid your work would duplicate with our work in debian.
 Just grab tarball and put to our package repository is fine now,
 but if there is debian/ directory in tarball, it would conflict
 with it. Maybe make pkg/debian directory and use it for you 
 upstream is better way to do so.
