Hi Soren,

files in EOT-format are hopelessly obsolete. IIRC they were only compatible with Internet Explorer (not even Edge)!

I don't think Debian package should ship them at all, but I wouldn't care if they need to be included for some odd reason (haven't checked the GIMP case, for example). I would consider them entirely private to the package that contains them, like other stuff in e.g. /usr/share/<package>. Thus, I see no reason to factor them out into a fonts-eot-<package> package. Let's not encourage that, please.

We should, however, take care to keep them out of the /usr/share/fonts name space under any circumstances! This should be the only necessary check in my opinion.

Thank you!

 - Fabian
