well then, let's see. ;)

debian/control:
 * The Vcs-* fields are meant to point to the packaging repository, 
   not the upstream repository. Please move the upstream homepage from 
   the Vcs-Browser field to the Source field in debian/copyright.

debian/copyright:
 * Your upstream sources do not contain any documentation of the 
   copyright and License. This is very bad, please convince your 
   upstream of including such a file.
   Alternatively, there are chances that these information are 
   embedded into the font files and can be extracted, see e.g.

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-fonts/fonts-croscore.git/tree/debian/copyright
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-fonts/fonts-crosextra-caladea.git/tree/debian/copyright

   Anyway, please document where you got the idea for the Copyright 
   and License fields from . ;)
 * As mentioned before, the Source field should point to the website 
   where you have downloaded the sources, e.g. the Releases page on 
   Github.
 * The blank line before the License paragraph breaks parsing of this 
   file. Please do either remove this line or duplicate it right below 
   the Copyright line.
 * There is no Copyright/License information given for debian/*. 
   Please  chose a simple license such as e.g.

https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Other-Files.html


debian/dirs:
 * Not needed, please remove.

debian/docs:
 * Empty, please remove.

debian/README.source:
 * Not needed, please remove.

debian/rules:
 * Only lines 1, 21 and 22 are needed, please remove the others.

debian/watch:
 * Missing, please consider adding this file.

So, that's it so far for my review.

Cheers,

Fabian
