The data is resolved in rules file:
https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fonts-noto/-/blob/master/debian/rules#L91
Sorry, I had forgotten that fonts-noto still uses cdbs which is alien to
many and not recommended for new packaging work.
Totally untested, it should look something like the following rewritten
to instead use short-form dh sequencer:
override_dh_dh_gencontrol:
printf fonts:familylist= \
>> debian/fonts-jetbrains-mono.substvars
otfinfo -a $(wildcard src/*.ttf) | cut -d: -f2 \
| LC_ALL=C sort -u \
| $$(substvars-list-encode) \
>> debian/fonts-jetbrains-mono.substvars
dh_gencontrol -- -Vfonts:scriptcount="$(fonts-scriptcount)"
Hope that helps,
- Jonas
