Package: fonts-jetbrains-mono Version: 1.0.4-1 Severity: minor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, Long description emphasizes script coverage as notable feature, yet does not tell _which_ scripts are covered. The purpose of package long description is to aid a user unfamiliar with a package to decide if relevant to install, and most users will likely want to know if their own script is covered rather than simply "many". Please therefore consider including in long description which scripts is covered by fonts-jetbrains-mono. I can recommend to look at how such information is automated in the source package fonts-noto. - Jonas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEn+Ppw2aRpp/1PMaELHwxRsGgASEFAl9+4PcACgkQLHwxRsGg ASHT9w/9GEtD04VQrJm1+mhlG4NR/SE1Sspph18AgdCc2fKQpbXHgDOdya/9XHny tD5RPqVyMI6/rfjWOLz8jX/75odFO62EXyjIob01x7h4tF+B2oVaELSaunrM3Uf2 R1uIjYIa3utTvfdtL4A7Y+NOPBV0rkm4v5kn70tESOJMiyAq8dWWfDJxNVckw80J LgHSE6OojwUo6TK9H9byPZSBHEKaxM8kUyQNjfJjbdiWDBTuRgkJcRRVvmznlG/T j3BCOtxkc2kTd+h4AP/94xSnula2npskZSm+t2kNM9lLpnmGmhVXQWMyWCk16KBh u31uWMTwRr6LBGFgu5ZajoZugD60dMbUaYM8dQT19xgvlASfxKMl3zVj0iA8q+u+ U4zE/qOkaCoHgZIuMRFCP5Tuli1anaDrtzidK2QipkR3FMAIvSrmPPLL0+AtNe+h pljXXhtgC5d614rwJcjdP14gsZXE8sXICQIBFVSt3Lk2fwHdpdY7J388D0MeZF+K UqKi0EAk1R47mYrLysrsUPuqmib5421TylSvsQ9O7jSrlI5emjHcxlhTeNPwOQNm wtvhSIuOWQx04EIgMAZ65gzCn2gRBpFef6jfNFCwFg2Tap/4DDl3b/ZagKxRJWg7 qBM+pmqgFXAOjm41RQ4cfIuWtp1ZfX/6VLkf8tWOTRHaQrIqrwE= =x1qr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The data is resolved in rules file:
https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fonts-noto/-/blob/master/debian/rules#L91
Sorry, I had forgotten that fonts-noto still uses cdbs which is alien to
many and not recommended for new packaging work.
Totally untested, it should look something like the following rewritten
to instead use short-form dh sequencer:
override_dh_dh_gencontrol:
printf fonts:familylist= \
>> debian/fonts-jetbrains-mono.substvars
otfinfo -a $(wildcard src/*.ttf) | cut -d: -f2 \
| LC_ALL=C sort -u \
| $$(substvars-list-encode) \
>> debian/fonts-jetbrains-mono.substvars
dh_gencontrol -- -Vfonts:scriptcount="$(fonts-scriptcount)"
Hope that helps,
- Jonas
