At a quick glance, the source would appear to be the SFD files. Here's
one from the CVS:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/freefont/sfd/FreeMono.sfd?revision=1.226&root=freefont

Cool - The CC licensed images need to be stated in debian/copyright.
If you're sure they are homemade or CC, that's fine.
The ones which immediately stuck as being potentially non-free were:
* UNIX "live free or die" plate
* Eye in the pyramid logo
* Possibly the Cthulhu hazard sign (which I love)
* Matrix code (this could be generated, though)
If these have attributions, though, that's no problem.

FHS says,
man1: "Most program documentation that a user will need to use is
located here."
man6: "This chapter documents games, demos, and generally trivial
programs. Different people have various notions about how essential this
is."
Personally I'd leave it in section 1 unless the package's section is
also set to 'games'. Which I wouldn't recommend ;)

Ah, when I wrote that I meant to have the entire tree unpacked under
/usr/share/doc/lebinou/examples/sequences or similar. However, after
posting my message I looked at the manual and you describe unpacking
that tarball to your home directory, so I figured your motivation was
that unpacking a tarball is easier for users than 'cp -a' or whatever.
So leave it as it is.

I think just an instruction "Pulseaudio users: use -i pulseaudio" should
be OK, plus instructions on how to set that more permanently.
