That's a complicated case. Your solution looks ok to me.

Sounds good.

There is a short reference in the TeX Policy already:
,----[ end of 4.1.1 ]
| Implementations for the configuration scheme described in this section
| can be found in Section A.1, `Sample code for font packages' and is
| implemented in the `debhelper' program `dh_installtexfonts'.
`----
This could be expanded (the grammar should be fixed to :-(. It depends
how much about the usage of dh_installtexfonts should be in the Policy.
Or if there is something in the implementation of dh_installtexfonts
that needs justification through the Policy.
