I am against this for two reasons:

1) Upstream names may vary greatly. For the font at hand the upstream
tarball is even called ttf-arkpandora, which is the exact name that we
decided against in the font package naming policy. Following upstreams
potentially random naming decisions would negotiate the *ordering* of
binary package names - that we aimed for by introducing the font package
naming policy - on the source package level.

2) For source packages that only build one binary package, I generally
consider it best practise that both have the same name. Since we already
have a policy for the name of the binary package, IMHO the source
package name should be made to follow.

I agree packaging style is a personal choice. If you fixed the typo in
copyright and the installation of the fontconfig file, I'll be
satisfied. ;)

Never mind, nice to hear from you!
