A few comments: ttf-lg-aboriginal (1.0-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low That's not suitable for an upload in Debian...should be: ttf-lg-aboriginal (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial release under GPL Version 3. Closes LP: #191303 Hopefully, that can make it to Ubuntu's BTS. Not really sure. Maybe you need to wait until the package is in Debian, then release a 1.0-1ubuntu1 with the "Closes LP" statement. Lintian warning: W: ttf-lg-aboriginal: description-contains-homepage Indeed, you should not repeat the Homepage in the package description. The mention of the author also does not belong to the description. It is already in the debian/copyright file. Finally, the description should be improved: - no capitals in synopsis - "from Language Geek" adds no value - what is meant by "aboriginal". That word has a different meaning whether you're in Canada, Australia, South Africa, etc. I think you mean "native languages" and mor especifically "native languages from North America Actually, that impacts the name of the font. I wouldn't recommend naming it "aboriginal" but better create the connection with native (north) americans. And, no, I don't have good suggestions..:-) Apart from that, the packaging seems mostly safe. May I suggest you join the pkg-fonts team. Didn't Nicolas already suggest that?
