Bug#298545: lintian: 298545: also detect free font duplicates?



Would it be possible to also detect duplicates of free fonts already in
Debian?

As you can see from here, there are a ton of Bitstream Vera duplicates
in Debian already (and these are just the ones with the same md5sum):

http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/fnt-785d2fd45984c6548763ae6702d83e20.html

Doing it by lowercased filename should be enough for many fonts. Might
also be a good idea to compare the md5sum of .ttf files with known
hashes of the versions of Vera/DejaVu/FreeFont that can be found in
Debian currently (including the versions in other packages).
