Actually, I followed the ubuntu documentation for packaging new software
which is found here in PDF:
https://packaging.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-packaging-guide.pdf
It is the same as the documentation in HTML:
https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html
In the documentation, bzr is used.
Would you please let me know if there is any updated documentation for
packaging fonts?

I have made a new repository with the correct tarball. Is this ok?
https://gitlab.flossir.org/farsi-fonts/fonts-yas/-/releases
We are trying with the help of the Information Technology Organization of
Iran and the Open Source Community of Iran to maintain repositories of open
source fonts here:
https://gitlab.flossir.org/farsi-fonts
Thanks for other comments. I will try to fix them next time.
