The maint-guide offline resource that we can install locally starts by
showing what is necessary. This is the same guide in an online form:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html
I just checked and that guide is additionally part of Joseph's
recommendation. Joseph's also suggests the following which may say
something in a different that is more understandable:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial
Additionally... If this was me as a new developer trying to find out
how to present a font such that it displays in Debian and thus likely
other operating systems, I would use my package manager to find a
similar font. I'd then inspect that font's package contents to see how
its author *successfully* presented their [product] such that it was
*successfully* accepted into Debian's repository.
BUT... I would also make sure that the previously existing font
package doesn't have any outstanding quality issues that are not
immediately apparent. I wouldn't want to unintentionally duplicate
those quality issues into my own brand new package. That's where the
Debian Package Tracker comes into play as a handy tool:
https://tracker.debian.org/
If you find a fonts package that would be easy to use as a template,
run it through the Tracker first then correct that package's issues
before proceeding forward with your own. If you do use another package
as a template for your own, don't forget to credit if/as
appropriate/needed/requested by that package's developer. :)
Good luck!
