Sorry for not responding sooner, my TODO list is bursting at seams.
It seems to one else responded as well...

The main obstacle being the FontLab format problem, and I'm not very
knowledgeable about it. Unless there's some free tool that can read that
format and convert it (possibly in multiple hops) to TrueType, the font
can't enter the main archive.
It would be greatly preferred to find a solution, but if one can't be
found, the "contrib" archive can be used. For that, you'd change
"Section: fonts" to "Section: contrib/fonts".

But... there was no previous upload. Unless you know of any actual users
who rely on your -1 packaging, the Debian scheme is to avoid bumping the
version for any of WIP versions that did not enter the distribution.
Thus, unless there's a good reason, it would be nice if you could mark
the changelog entry as -1.
But it's the buildable-from-source -or- contrib issue that's the blocker.
Meow!
