Thanks. I think I've got most of those sorted now.
A couple of things to sort out (as long as the rest is ok!)

The installed scripts (addfont and addpath aren't installed) are:
 add_classes, check_attach, dumpfont, fret, hackos2, make_fea, make_gdl,
 make_volt, psfix, sfd2ap, sfdmeld, sfdmerge, ttf2volt, ttf2woff, ttfascent,
 ttfbboxfix, ttfbuilder, ttfdeflang, ttfeval, ttffeatparms, ttflang2tuner,
 ttfname, ttfremap, ttfsetver, ttfsubset, ttftable,
 typetuner, volt2ap, volt2ttf

I've checked and those don't match the name of files in sid (searching on
packages.d.o).

add_classes, check_attach, psfix are the ones that sound generic to me.
Would it be worth it to rename them even if they don't currently clash?
Though that would mess up any system that expects to call them.

I guess the scripts are the more important thing. To rename should I rename
the git repo as well? 
If so, is that just a matter of sshing in and mv-ing
libfont-ttf-scripts-perl.git to font-ttf-scripts-perl.git, and editing local
.git/config to point to it?

Regards,
Daniel
