Package: lintian Version: 2.5.96 Severity: wishlist As a result of a thread[1] on debian-fonts, I found that lmodern and tex-gyre contain X11 fonts but do not run update-fonts-* from their postinst and do not depend on xfonts-utils via ${misc:Depends}, both of these are automatically added by dh_installxfonts if run correctly.
I filed bugs[2] about these issues but it would be nice to have lintian detect binary packages containing X11 fonts[3] that do not depend on xfonts-utils or do not have the dh_installxfonts snippet[4] that debhelper installs into the maintainer scripts. 1. https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/CAJqvfD-A1EPXxF_mS=_baq0ftqygvwruf+23wqsqrksmygv...@mail.gmail.com 2. https://bugs.debian.org/905879 https://bugs.debian.org/905880 3. /usr/share/fonts/X11/**/*.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/X11/**/*.pcf /usr/share/fonts/X11/**/*.pfa /usr/share/fonts/X11/**/*.pfb /usr/share/fonts/X11/**/*.afm 4.
