Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.96
Severity: wishlist
As a result of a thread[1] on debian-fonts, I found that lmodern and
tex-gyre contain X11 fonts but do not run update-fonts-* from their
postinst and do not depend on xfonts-utils via ${misc:Depends}, both
of these are automatically added by dh_installxfonts if run correctly.
I filed bugs[2] about these issues but it would be nice to have lintian
detect binary packages containing X11 fonts[3] that do not depend on
xfonts-utils or do not have the dh_installxfonts snippet[4] that
debhelper installs into the maintainer scripts.
