If your package only need those two dejavu families, please remove them and add
deps on the corresponding dejavu packages.
(plus a set of symlinks in your package if stellarium can not find system
fonts; in that case also remind upstream to add fontconfig support so you don't
need to carry the symlinks forever)
Please do so in fedora-devel *only*. Be aware that the set of dejavu packages
available in fedora-devel have different names and deps than in F9 and F10, so
you need to reference the new names for this stuff to work (probably
dejavu-fonts-sans-mono and dejavu-fonts-sans)

I have try to create such a solution. But stellarium will starts to complaints
about missing files, if the fontsfiles are not exists on
/usr/share/stellarium/data.
Because the packaging policy say, that create a font subpackage make only
sense, if other applications may benefits from it, I have avoid this solution,
because the dejavu fonts are available for other applications as a existing
package of the fedora repository.

Looks nice so here is a complete review:
1. probably better to use
%define archivename %{fontname}-%{version}
2. The summary needs a little work
(for example 'Geometric sans-serif font inspired by Futura')
3. you do not need to add "sfd" to the name, renaming is only a requirement for
OFL fonts, GPL does not require it
4. beteckna.se seems dead, no need to reference it in the description
5. we already have a licensing field, do not include "The font is free,
licensed under terms of the GNU GPL" in the description
6. You're wrapping your description lines too short, Fedora standard is 79
columns not 50
7. do package AUTHORS LICENSE CHANGELOG as %doc too
8. I see beteckna is actually 3 different font families: Beteckna,
BetecknaLowerCase, Beteckna Small Caps. Please package them in 3 different
subpackages using the -multi template (the two families which do not have a
correct uppercase/lowercase mix are probably more "fantasy" than "sans-serif"
fonts anyway)
9.[not a blocker] Please ask upstream to consider adding the FSF Font exception
to their licensing so the font can be used by people who embed fonts in PDF
files
10. Please change the category of the wiki page describing the font so other
packagers see they need not work on it
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Beteckna_fonts
(see the help in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_description_template )
You do not need a packager sponsorship for this, just a Fedora FAS account
Anyway that's all mostly small stuff and nothing that should be too hard for
you to fix.
⇒ NEEDINFO in the meanwhile
