Help, my upstream package contains a font. /usr/share/fonts/truetype/maitreya/MaitreyaSymbols6.ttf
this font is highly specialized and unlikely to be used by any other package. lintian says I must split off a font package. > I: maitreya: font-in-non-font-package > usr/share/fonts/truetype/maitreya/MaitreyaSymbols6.ttf N: > N: This package contains a *.ttf, *.otf, or *.pfb file, file extensions > N: used by TrueType, OpenType, or Type 1 fonts, but the package does not > N: appear to be a dedicated font package.

But I does not say anything about what the font package must be named. Where is that comming from? In any case, if I must split out a font package, how do I do it? Are there any examples out there?
