Bug#995606: lintian: non-free font packages and {truetype,opentype}-font-prohibits-installable-embedding



Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

For non-free fonts, prohibiting embedding is often consistent with the
license, so the two lintian warnings often don't really apply. On the
other hand prohibiting embedding is particularly user hostile so Debian 
should probably try to discourage it. On balance I think the right
solution is to downgrade the embedding tags to either info or pedantic
for non-free packages. The openboard-extras-nonfree package is already
overriding this tag, probably due to the warning vs pedantic level.

truetype-font-prohibits-installable-embedding
