The maint-guide offline resource that we can install locally starts by showing what is necessary. This is the same guide in an online form: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html I just checked and that guide is additionally part of Joseph's recommendation. Joseph's also suggests the following which may say something in a different that is more understandable: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial Additionally... If this was me as a new developer trying to find out how to present a font such that it displays in Debian and thus likely other operating systems, I would use my package manager to find a similar font. I'd then inspect that font's package contents to see how its author *successfully* presented their [product] such that it was *successfully* accepted into Debian's repository. BUT... I would also make sure that the previously existing font package doesn't have any outstanding quality issues that are not immediately apparent. I wouldn't want to unintentionally duplicate those quality issues into my own brand new package. That's where the Debian Package Tracker comes into play as a handy tool: https://tracker.debian.org/ If you find a fonts package that would be easy to use as a template, run it through the Tracker first then correct that package's issues before proceeding forward with your own. If you do use another package as a template for your own, don't forget to credit if/as appropriate/needed/requested by that package's developer. :) Good luck!
