Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: normal Hi.
I'm filing this bug as it seems that the BTS is down or unreacheable for me (could not check if this would be a duplicate bug or not). Anyway, while preparing a package containing Type 1 files (with the prefix t1-*), I get the following lintian messages: ,---- | I: t1-urw-garamondno8: font-in-non-font-package usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/garamond/ugmm8a.pfb | N: | N: This package contains a *.ttf or *.otf file, file extensions normally | N: used for TrueType or OpenType fonts, but the package does not appear to | N: be a dedicated font package. (Dedicated font package names should begin | N: with ttf- or otf-.) If the font is already packaged, you should depend | N: on that package instead. Otherwise, normally the font should be packaged | N: separately, since fonts are usually useful outside of the package that | N: embeds them. | N: | N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible `---- Instead of writing an override, I think that the proper solution would be if lintian recognized font packages with other prefixes too.
