Well, since the R install procedure does it this way. ;-)

I've changed the packaging to fit your wish which is IMHO pure academic.

There are some font packages featuring the same names of the directories
the font files are located in.  However, the single font files shipped
have no equivalent names inside any Debian package.  I'd consider it
pretty fragile to guess what Debian packaged font file might possibly
fit the file in r-cran-gfont.  I've checked this in advance before my
first upload.
 
I've just uploaded r-cran-gfonts with the fonts moved to
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/gfonts
to new.

Kind regards
     Andreas.
