This calls for some font2spec script that'd create a spec file for your
font and let you build a package from it easily, much like R2spec or
cpan2rpm.
R2spec or cpan2rpm work by converting existing metadata. Raw font files
do not have the kind of metadata which could be used to generate
complete spec files. You have significant packager involvment to fill
the info that wouldn't be there otherwise.
But anyway you're invited like everyone else on the list to review,
comment on and complete the current font packaging guideline change
