Hello Rüdiger,

one additional point: could you write briefly about how the new
package fits into Debian? Is it used by other packages or provides a
font type that is not already in Debian? Just one sentence that fira
is not just an other font similar to dozens. The point is to line out
the benefit of integrating fira into Debian.

A few sentences that points to the reason why you packaged fire suffice.

I CCed you, just in case you are not on the List.

Regards

Sebastian Bator
