Matt, Daniel Glassey bringed your mail in the pkg-fonts-devel mailing
list on Alioth.
pkg-fonts-devel is slowly becoming a quite "central" point in font
maintenance in Debian ("slowly" because I launched this, but not being
a specialist of fonts, I can't animate the group as much as I would
like).
It would be interesting to have a common place shared between Debian
and ubuntu when it comes at font management. After all, this was
mostly my intent when I blindly launched the pkg-fonts project on
Alioth.
Not everything fonts-related in Debian is maintained by pkg-fonts
members (defoma isn't, nor is fontconfig, nor are several font
packages) but that shoud lincrease slowly while people join the group.
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-fonts-devel as a
start for people who want to join.
Of course, that can also be discussed during, say a cheese party at
Debconf (this is a special Matt-fishing trick).
