Hey,
Some comments for the package from here:
http://gnu.ethz.ch/debian/ttf-gentium/ttf-sil-gentium_1.02-3.dsc
* Switching package names requires that you add dummy packages for
people upgrading from stable/oldstable to a new stable or
testing/sid. I suggest not changing the package name unless it
is necessary.
* I don't think fontforge, fontforge-doc, fonttools need to be in
the suggests line.
* The OFL file doesn't need to be installed
* If they work the reportbug scripts suggested by Nicolas are
useful please add them.
* Gentium-RU-Specimen.pdf is non-free and-or needs licence
clarification, the main thing is that it says "All other
portions of this booklet are ©2002 J. Victor Gaultney. All
rights reserved." I'm also concerned about "Texts from Le
Nouveau Testament en Lyélé du Burkina Faso, ©2001 by Wycliffe
Bible Translators, used by permission; Holy Bible: New
International Version, ©1978 by the New York International Bible
Society, used by permission; B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort,
eds., The Greek New Testament (1881)." Also the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights also doesn't have any
copyright/licence information (at least the English version) :)
There is also no source code for Gentium-RU-Specimen.pdf and the
other PDFs. Nicolas, please check with SIL what the
copyright/licence/source code status of the PDFs are. There is
the possibility of just preparing a dfsg-compliant version of
the orig.tar.gz and adding a script used to generate it to the
diff.gz, but I'd rather SIL fix this properly.
