A good point. I was thinking of creating a GitHub project called FontAwesome-DFSG, with a README explaining what is it, how it was created and how it is not endorsed by the FontAwesome "owners". But I'm not sure what to call the Debian package - it is essentially just a repackaging of the FontAwesome fonts. Perhaps we could call the source package fonts-font-awesome-dfsg, and the binary packages fonts-font-awesome-4.7, fonts-font-awesome-dfsg-5, fonts-font-awesome-dfsg-6 and fonts-font-awesome-dfsg (for the current version of the upstream font)? I'm open to ideas! Best wishes, Julian
