What is the advantage of lilyterm over a gazzilion of other *terms
debian already ships?  What's wrong with, say, roxterm?

Besides, why did you create lilyterm-data?  Can't you just swallow
it by main lilyterm package?  You may need extra -data in two cases --
when that -data comes from a separate source, or when you have several
different variations of your term package (say, gtk2 and gtk3 versions)
which all use a common set of data files.  Apparently neither of the
two cases applies here.
