This doesn't cover non-US/*, and it mightn't be complete for
main/contrib/non-free, but it doesn't exactly take 20 hours... Providing
a patch for lintian would be even better, of course, but something like
the above would suffice as far as I'm concerned.
Actually, it isn't complete for main/contrib/non-free: nethack didn't show
up because it keeps its binary in /usr/games. Packages like it are:
cxhextris
jnethack
nethack
A brief search of those packages' bug pages only turns up the following
font related bugs:
#38425: x3270: x3270,WindowMaker &
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled segfault
#89095: cmatrix doesn't run update-fonts-alias on postrm
There weren't any bugs that I could see about fonts in a binary package.
There's already a "should" directive, so there's justification for them
even without the "must".
Cheers,
aj
