Package: lintian Version: Hi, On my package 'serendipity' I now get the following Lintian warning: W: serendipity: duplicate-font-file usr/share/serendipity/www/plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock/chumbly.ttf also in ttf-aenigma N: N: This package appears to include a font file that is already provided by N: another package in Debian. It should instead depend on the relevant font N: package. If the application in this package loads the font file by name, N: you may need to include a symlink pointing to the file name of the font N: in its Debian package. N: N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible N: This may sound fair at first, but since the ttf-aenigma package has an installed size of 25 MB and my package needs just that one font, so depending on ttf-aenigma does not seem like such a good idea afterall. Since the package is that huge, perhaps Lintian should not be encouraging maintainers to start depending on it when they have just one font from it in their packages. Or do you think I should rather add an override instead? cheers, Thijs
