Hi,

So, to actually maintain the dependency of fonts building, is it
advisable to let fonttools depend on python-fonttools instead of
python3-fonttools?

I am going to package libraries to make fontmake available in Debian
(which is a python3 program so all python3 dependencies), however no
package have dependency on python3-fonttools yet.  If that's okay, I
will try to rework on the packaging.
