Understood.

OK.  Since everything in fonts is confirmed to be GPL-compatible, and
some fonts are so customized they're not useful anywhere but in
Tuxpaint, I've changed my policy.  I'm now including all fonts provided
by upstream that I don't symlink to a font already available in Debian
from a separate package.

Please see:

deb http://people.debian.org/~synrg/tuxpaint/sid/ ./

However, I still want to see each font that's included in Tuxpaint that
is generally useful to other packages packaged separately.  But that can
be pursued in parallel with this release.  So, in my rc5 package I now have:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     48 Oct 12 14:26 ar.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/ttf-arabeyes/ae_Nice.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  28580 Oct 12 14:24 bo.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     47 Oct 12 14:26 el.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/thryomanes/thryrg__.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     55 Oct 12 14:26 gu.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/ttf-gujarati-fonts/lohit_gu.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  25104 Oct 12 14:24 he.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134372 Oct 12 14:24 hi.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 100236 Oct 12 14:24 ja.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     45 Oct 12 14:26 ka.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     41 Oct 12 14:26 ko.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/baekmuk/gulim.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     54 Oct 12 14:26 ta.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/ttf-tamil-fonts/TSCu_Comic.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     44 Oct 12 14:26 th.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/thai/Garuda-Bold.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 301056 Oct 12 14:24 vi.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     43 Oct 12 14:26 zh_cn.ttf ->
../../../fonts/truetype/arphic/gbsn00lp.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 692564 Oct 12 14:24 zh_tw.ttf

bo.ttf    has "issues" (non-Unicode, locale not present on Debian)
he.ttf    waiting on the Debian Hebrew group to package
hi.ttf    waiting on the Debian Indian group to package
ja.ttf    custom font for Tuxpaint
vi.ttf    don't know who to ask about packaging this; I'll ask around
zh_tw.ttf    custom font for Tuxpaint
