Debian Policy Manual
version 3.6.1.1, 2004-06-25

11.8.5:

14. Font packages must not provide the files fonts.dir, fonts.alias,
    or fonts.scale in a font directory:
      + fonts.dir files must not be provided at all.
      + fonts.alias and fonts.scale files, if needed, should be
                                           ^^^^^^^^^
        provided in the directory
        /etc/X11/fonts/fontdir/package.extension,
        <snip>
