Package: debian-policy Version: 3.5.6.0 Severity: normal Point 6 of section "12.8.5 Packages providing fonts" reads:
Font packages may, instead of placing files directly in the X font directories listed above, provide symbolic links in the font directory which point to the files' actual location in the filesystem. This is confusing. See Debian bug #107266. This should be changed to: Font packages may, instead of placing files directly in the X font directories listed above, provide symbolic links in the <samp>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</samp> directory which point to the directories in the filesystem which contain the fonts. or: Font packages may, instead of placing files directly in the X font directories listed above, provide symbolic links which point to the files' actual locations in the filesystem in one of these directories. or: Font packages may, instead of placing files directly in the X font directories listed above, provide symbolic links which point to the files' actual locations in the filesystem in one of these directories or symbolic links in the <samp>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</samp> directory which point to the directories in the filesystem which contain the fonts. Which of these three options is correct depends on just what exactly this section of policy is supposed to mean, which isn't obvious to me.
