Ok, I have now added code to all/debian/rules.in, and created a script that does the job.
Fine, thanks!
One question remains from my side: Isn't there anything else that has to be doneto activate the fonts? No fonts.scale shipping? No dh_foobar call? Am I missing something? The links are enough?
No, in order to activate the fonts for fontconfig, it is sufficient to install them into the /usr/share/fonts name space. The fontconfig package claims an interest in this directory and is instantly notified when new fonts are installed, so fontconfig can regenerate its cache.
The fonts.scale file is only needed if you want to make the font available to the classic X font server (c.f. xfontsel), but this is not the purpose of my request. To register the fonts.scale files with the X server, a call to dh_installxfonts is needed. This is, however, not necessary for fontconfig.
