No, because the Debian Package Management System does 
not know about it and you will run into trouble...

I have already checked the Names of files and the names 
of the Fonts arre unique. So even if I have a private 
Mirror, the files in my Packages will not conflict with 
any of the Debian packages. 

And,  -  if one of the Fonts packages I create is worth 
to be included in the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution, it 
can be done easyly

Note: Curently I am blocked making the Packages, because 
      most of the the Licences are not clear enough.
