Package: src:fonts-hosny-amiri
Version: 0.111-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in buster but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh  build-indep
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_autoreconf -i
   dh_auto_configure -i
   create-stamp debian/debhelper-build-stamp
 fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep
dh  binary-indep
   dh_testroot -i
   dh_prep -i
   dh_auto_install -i
   dh_install -i
   dh_installdocs -i
dh_installdocs: Cannot find (any matches for) "documentation/NEWS.txt" (tried in .)

debian/rules:5: recipe for target 'binary-indep' failed
make: *** [binary-indep] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep subprocess returned exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The build was made with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" in my autobuilder
but it also fails in reproducible builds:

[ Note: There has been a recent change in debhelper behaviour, the current
  behaviour is the intended one. See Bug #903133 for details ].

Thanks.
