Good morning Norbert,

Are you sure that all the fonts that are in
        texmf-dist/fonts/type1/{adobe,bitstrea,urw}/*/*.pfb
in the texlive-base.orig.tar.gz, now and in future, will be installed
into texlive-fonts-recommended? I am not sure.

Me neither, my patch merely applies to the current state (i.e. what I got by "apt-get source texlive-fonts-recommended", I just used git-diff for the actual patch).

I guess it would be better to move this snippet to a later place,
and search for
        for p in debian/texmf-fonts-recommended/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist...
instead. What do you think?

Yes, this sounds more future-proof.

Concerning the selectin of fonts, did you check:
* arkandis
* some of the gust/poltawski/ (the 10pt fonts) might be of interest
* nowacki/*
* ...

No, I did just check the fonts in the recommended set. I didn't even bother to check those in the extra set, I assumed they are there for a reason. ;)

I guess the list of directories to be checked should actually be
managed somewhere outside the rules file, in a file under debian.

Yes, this sounds like a cleaner solution.

Anyway, what do you think? And I guess I will include something like this
in the git packaging.

My attempt was to concretize the idea to make selected texlive fonts available to fontconfig, as described in the initial bug report. I am fine with whatever implementation you envision to achieve this goal. My experience with the texlive packages is just too limited to impose my own solution upon them. ;)

Cheers,
 - Fabian
