We actually have a font packaging policy:

https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/PackagingPolicy

So, the foundry has to come first in the package name. Artifex calls the
fonts artifex_core35 on their download page, so I think I'd prefer
"fonts-urw-core35", but "-base35" should be alright as well.

That's interesting! The former package contains fonts from the GNU
ghostscript fork whereas the latter contains the fork with added cyrilic
glyphs. Neither of them contains the pristine URW fonts or the ones
shipped by ghostscript itself.

Cool, that would be at least one copy less, only two more to go (though
it will get hard to convince the LaTeX maintainers to replace their copy
with the updated set from ghostscript).
