I've updated package now with fontforge-doc package. I did it slightly
different way instead of manually copying rely on build system to
install the package.  Please have a look at latest commit on git.

I've not uploaded it yet, if you think its necessary I will upload to
unstable. Let me know. (Or ofcourse you can upload it yourself).

Can we now consider generating fontforge-extras from fontforge file?.
Will you request removal of fontforge-extras?.

 fontforge-extra is another issue, IMO. Because fontforge-doc should
 provide current fontforge information, so it should be the same version.
 And -extras seems to be _better_ to be generated with fontforge source
 package in next step.

Thank you Yamane san. At the same time I would like to point out that we
should remove fontforge-extras because same file is now shipped in
fontforge and probably latest. I've not shipped it as part of fontforge
to avoid conflicts, please consider this also when you are preparing
patch :-).

Cheers,
