Quoting Justin B Rye (jbr at edlug.org.uk):

>  Package: otf-symbols-circos
>  [...]


While at it, you may want to rename this binary package. The Font
Packaging Team settled for package names starting with "fonts-" and
avoiding to mention the nature of the fonts (OTF or TTF or anything
else).

I'd suggest fonts-circos-symbols as name.

Of course, that requires transitioning from the former package, with a
"otf-symbols-circos" transition package.

See most fonts-* packages as example on how to do this The Right Way.
