The update is the following (a typo in the bug report may lead to my
intents being quite unclear):
I think it is OK to sponsor the package in Debian with the following
conditions :
- rename it to follow the current pkg-fonts package naming policy, so
"fontS-anonymous-pro" (we're discussing about making the "foundry"
part in package names an optional component and I think there is
consensus that it hasn't to be mandatory)
- move the package under the pkg-fonts team umbrella and host the
package development in its SVN repository
- check, of course, that the packaging work is OK
(the latter is not specific to this package, of course)
