Providing a patch for lintian would be even better, of course, but something like the above would suffice as far as I'm concerned. Actually, it isn't complete for main/contrib/non-free: nethack didn't show up because it keeps its binary in /usr/games. Packages like it are: cxhextris jnethack nethack A brief search of those packages' bug pages only turns up the following font related bugs: #38425: x3270: x3270,WindowMaker & /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled segfault #89095: cmatrix doesn't run update-fonts-alias on postrm There weren't any bugs that I could see about fonts in a binary package. There's already a "should" directive, so there's justification for them even without the "must".
