Bug#542389: lintian: doesn't recognize font packages with t1- prefix
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.14
Severity: normal
Hi.
I'm filing this bug as it seems that the BTS is down or unreacheable for
me (could not check if this would be a duplicate bug or not).
Anyway, while preparing a package containing Type 1 files (with the
prefix t1-*), I get the following lintian messages:
,----
| I: t1-urw-garamondno8: font-in-non-font-package usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/garamond/ugmm8a.pfb
| N:
| N: This package contains a *.ttf or *.otf file, file extensions normally
| N: used for TrueType or OpenType fonts, but the package does not appear to
| N: be a dedicated font package. (Dedicated font package names should begin
| N: with ttf- or otf-.) If the font is already packaged, you should depend
| N: on that package instead. Otherwise, normally the font should be packaged
| N: separately, since fonts are usually useful outside of the package that
| N: embeds them.
| N:
| N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible
`----
Instead of writing an override, I think that the proper solution would
be if lintian recognized font packages with other prefixes too.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
